The order of CIDs is in "registry, *ordering*, and supplement". Also
it is mentioned in the specs (5092): "A character collection consists
of an ordered set of all characters". I think we can rely on that.

If there is a CID to glyph index mapping in each file, why doesn't
FreeTyope generate a cmap?

Thanks,
