I've been testing it and have found no problems with the 9000+ fonts
on my machine.  It's easy enough to test; walk the encoding linearly and 
compare with walking via Get_Next_Char.  I'd appreciate having the API
available in 2.0.8 as it turns a 10 minute task into a 2 second task and 
I'm nearly set to release the dependent libraries.

Shall I post a suitable test program?
