Boy did I handle that wrong! When I said that it wouldn't be 
of use "in the immediate future", what I should have said 
was it won't be of use "tomorrow". And when I said it could 
become useful "further down the road", what I should have
said was it will become useful "the day _after_ tomorrow".  ;-)

Seriously though, I did think a little more on this and on 
further thought the Unicode and Adobe-specific charmaps would 
be useful after all (you'll have to bear with me as I'm still
relatively new to this digital typography stuff, so the gears 
turn a little more slowly).

Anyway, I looked at our application and how we are using your 
type1 implementation versus how we are using your cff 
implementation. With type1 we are making use of your Unicode 
and/or Adobe-specific charmaps and it would be helpful to be 
able to work with cff in the same fashion.

Thanks,
Eric
