Exactly. These *-iso10646-1 fonts didn't exist until recently.
There is hope, however. The Mozilla Organization
(http://www.mozilla.org/) is currently rewriting several parts of the
client, and this will have a big impact on fonts, too. We will probably
consider supporting *-iso10646-1 fonts.
However, since the external info isn't good enough, we will probably
have to look inside the fonts to see which glyphs they really have (or
don't have). Witness the recent addition of the euro glyph to several
fonts. (Is that a good example?)
