Hi Scletec, In the previous release (2012) instead of bold handrwiting letters in U+1D14D0-503, I put calligraphic letters. It wasn't an accident -- I didn't have bold handwriting glyphs, but I did have calligraphic letters, and nowhere to put them, because the standard deoesn't supply a range.
In the current SVN, this is handled in a different way, and the letters in U+1D14D0-503 are bold handwriting letters. Thanks!
