Then it would appear TypeTool's lying. Although I'm not sure I could call it that, since Fontlab made the executive decision to not let ANY of their programs actually let you inspect properly big fonts. The only product they make that supports a full opentype font is AsiaFont Studio, which sets you back $999 (for no clear reason. There is nothing in Opentype that says you can only have so many characters in an editor for a font, it supports 65535 glyphs and fontlab just thought it was a nice idea to wring more money out of people by going "oh you want a FULL font editor? that'll be a thousand dollar, please").

But buying AsiaFont studio would be silly when we have FontForge, which is free. However, what is even easier is to simply install the font in windows and then use babelmap (http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html).

Han Nom A only goes up to 0xFFFF, and Han Nom B exclusively covers CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B block (which is humongous with 42 thousand glyphs, and starts at 0x20000), similar to for instance the MingLiU, MingLiU-ExtB or SimSun and SimSun-ExtB pairs.

But we're getting side tracked, can you do another test image with a font that has some glyphs for the high codepoints you're rendering? (ideally, one from the 0x1234 range, one from the 0x1xxxx range and one from the 0x2xxxx range).
