Hello? Who says decorative or handwriting fonts can't be Unicode fonts?
I've got dozens of fonts on my system that prove this wrong. Zapfino, which
ships with OS X and which I had the privilege to work on, is about as
decorative a handwriting font as you could wish for, and of course it has a
Unicode cmap.
Or are you working with some definition of 'Unicode font' other than 'font
with a Unicode cmap'?
