First thing: don't request an external SFM for a font that already has
one - unless there is a bug in it and you want to try a fix.  Run
"file -z" on the font to know; should tell "Unicode directory" if OK.
That may be the source of the problem.

2nd: what you really need is probably just changing the ACM - you can
use charset(1) for this.  All you need is a font that will contain all
the chars you need from both encodings.

Nevertheless, looks strange - this will have to be investigated.
