I'm guessing that this might be because the fonts are CFF OpenType, rather than TTF, and there may be assumptions in software that prevent display of Plane 1 characters in CFF fonts. It wouldn't be the first time that software has, presumably inadvertantly, handicapped CFF fonts. It took a long time for some developers to get past the Postscript font = 8bit assumption.
