Quoting mpsuzuki@hiroshima-u.ac.jp:
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.
