BPOZZ Design Note

Alex Brush attaches its accents through GPOS mark and mark-to-mark positioning, the mechanism that lets Vietnamese stack two diacritics on one vowel, and its Vietnamese coverage is verified in the file, so a Vietnamese name can be set in this brush script without fallback letters.
