hehehe, it is what it mean to be. It is a GB font with an tranditional
type face. It is still a GB font no matter if it has a simplified or
traditional type face. I think the purpose of the tranditional GB font
is for people who are used to read tranditional text but need to load
GB text.
Of course if we are allowed to modify the font, we can convert its
cmap to big5 one with a program and fill in some missed glyph from
other big5 fonts. But I don't think we are allowed to do it now, and
the result will not be pretty (mixed typeface in one font).
