The question is that is there any real iso10646 font? Most font labeled
as iso10646 only cover a portion of unicode 3.0 reportire. The biggest font
I'm aware is MS' unicode font comes with Office 2000, which is said covering
Unicode 2.1 in full (~39,000 chars). I'm not aware any unicode 3.0 font
which has about 10,000 chars more than 2.1. I guess some of chinese font
makers must have made one by now.
PS: when I played with MS unicode font, for about a couple minutes as the
font is being loaded, my computer looks like dead, totally no response.
Thinking that GB18030 font will be even bigger, it's kind of scary.
