Gibberish: Another legacy problem

The London Tube publishes excellent maps of its system in various languages, at: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tube/maps/.

There is a problem with its Vietnamese version, though: it's gibberish.

Both the Vietnamese graphics and PDF file are encoded in the 8-bit VNI character set, but rendered in a Unicode font.
