Just to answer one point, the 65535 limit is a problem already for  
full unicode implementation, or even for that matter just for full  
unicode CJKV implementaion. There exist solutions, and there will be  
better solutions in the future.They are various methods of 'font  
linking', whereby several font files are taken and treated as if one  
large font, examples include fall-back fonts on windows, and  
fontconfig on linux.
