I'm sorry, I misunderstood the current situation. When I worked
for MingLiU issue in Ghostscript ever (including old FreeType
rasterizer), MingLiU had several glyphs (e.g. U+9C02) that their
shapes were still broken, although most glyphs are well rasterized
(in comparison with no-hinted results). Current FreeType2 rasterizes
U+9C02 well.
