The current font and new charts are most welcome.

A careful check of the glyphs representing characters with less
than five residual strokes (in other words, the easiest ones to
check) shows no other duplicate glyphs. (Also checked along

Building a large CJK font is no easy task, and the font vendor
has done a tremendous job.
