Using Script in typography
Script fonts and italics don't work all uppercase - each capital letter is designed specially to start a word, or a sentence. Used all in a row, the word becomes unreadable. For this reason, typographic layouts using scripts need to be done with more care, using the typeform to it's full potential. The other thing to do is consider combining with a plainer font for the non-important linking words

A Few of My Favourite Fonts
All designers have favorite fonts.Somehttp://www2.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif of mine happen to be free, too. :-)
Take a look at one of my favorite font foundries who supply some of their nicest fonts for free. . The site is, unfortunately in Italian - but don't let that put you off - you know a sexy font when you see one and they say that the language of love is universal!
This is one of my very favorites in the collection. It's casual, modern, clean but not too formal.

This is the new 2007 COSC2284 - Electronic Imaging & Design Blog
If you are turning into a typography addict, but have been frustrated by the fact that your favourite font does have Vietnamese diacritics (dau), then you should take a look at Diacritics. At the moment, they only have Romanian and Czech members, so I bet they would love to meet someone from Vietnam who would be interested in developing a wider rage of diacritics
