Just curious, but which ISO 10646 code points did you choose for the
Adobe Symbol characters that are not in 10646? For example:
F8FC FC # RIGHT CURLY BRACKET TOP # bracerighttp (CUS)
F8FD FD # RIGHT CURLY BRACKET MID # bracerightmid (CUS)
F8FE FE # RIGHT CURLY BRACKET BOTTOM # bracerightbt (CUS)

I believe Frank wanted to know about legacy fonts so that Mozilla could
try to support those in case the user has not installed the new 10646
fonts yet. His question arose from a discussion of MathML support in
Mozilla.

I'm pretty sure you are aware of the Han unification issues, but I think
you would be more successful if you treat CJK with care. I.e. when
making a JIS X 0208 font available, make sure the glyphs are
"Japanese-style" and not Chinese.
