I just came to think of some other possible obstacles: output.

Win32 can only handle up to 16-bit Unicode as output (on the API level), I
don't know if it handles tagged/shifted output >= 2^16. What about the other
supported platforms (X, Photon, BeOS, ...)?

Do TrueType allow chars >= 2^16? Type1?

Stuff like that. Perhaps it wasn't a too bright idea I got after all. :-)
