Missing Myriad Pro Light Vietnamese glyphs

...many Vietnamese characters do not appear in the glyphs palette for Myriad Pro Light (characters with specific diacriticals. Anyone know why that’s the case?

The reason is that the glyphs are not there is that the type designer(s) did not create them. In the case of Myriad Pro, the designers are Carol Twombly and Robert Slimbach and the typeface is from Adobe Originals.

Since Myriad Pro and the other 40 variations are Adobe Originals and part of Adobe Fonts, I'll move your post to Adobe Fonts for you.

The Adobe Originals program started in 1989 as an in-house type foundry at Adobe, brought together to create original typefaces of exemplary design quality, technical fidelity, and aesthetic longevity.

Today the Type team’s mission is to make sophisticated and even experimental typefaces that explore the possibilities of design and technology. Typefaces released as Adobe Originals are the result of years of work and study, regarded as industry standards for the ambition and quality of their development.

Hey. Have the same issue, all character works well with regular or... condensed semi condensed light etc only light font is corrupted 😞

For background information, it is impossible to use Word to check this. Word has a feature where, if a font does not contain a character, it will look through specific fonts on your system to find another font, and will substitute silently. This idea terrifies professional typesetters, so Adobe products never do this. If you are in Windows try the Character Map applet to check included characters.
