I didn't mean to imply this, but I believe this indexing is a minor effort when compared to the font drawing aspect and those fonts, once remapped and even as unpolished or unhinted as they could be, would really be useful to users as fallback (or last resort) resources. I believe this could be easy for scripts that need no contextual processing. A nice added value. I also agree that having more of the (western if I may be Eurocentric) music symbols, maths symbols and even parts of braces like 23AB in standard fonts would be a real service to users. P. A.
