My computing environment is Plan9.  Plan9 fully supports Unicode
(UTF-8), but it lacks the glyphs for several font ranges.  There is
currently no ttf or opentype support or conversion routines.  I've
written a BDF font converter to Plan9 native format to fill in some of
the ranges, include 600-6FF.  My long term goal is to add support
for bidi/joining to Plan9.

BTW, there is a large collection of opensource fonts (efont)
that I've used but their arabic/farsi glyphs are not very
satisfying.  Their preferred format is also BDF.  Have you considered
contributing to that effort?
