That's alright.  :-)  BTW, when will RC2 be out?  I'll test it out
tonight when I am home.  (Hope it's not too late.)

By the way, I have a patch for ft2demos, to increase the upper Unicode
limit from U+FFFF to U+10FFFF, and to change the old macros to their new
uppercase equivalents.  (I am trying to get ftview etc. to handle UCS-4
fonts.)

However, I have not yet looked into how to modify FTC_CMapCache_Lookup(),
which, unlike FT_Select_Charmap(), does not have an algorithm to favour
UCS-4 charmaps over UCS-2 ones.

Thanks in advance,

Anthony
