Two comments:
1.) While it is stable enough it is quite slow due to excessive and
    ineffecient use of regular expressions.
2.) A while ago I reported the fonts get build twice. We could confirm
    that problem in the meantime and found out that it was related
    to using a C version of "ucs2any". Tatoku Ogaito finally fixed
    it by adding "includes :: ucs2any" to "xc/fonts/util/Imakefile".

        Kind regards
