A whole bunch of random fonts which have non-standard encoding, as far
as I'm aware. For example, various Euler families, yinitas, dingbat
fonts, maybe chess fonts?
It seems like a good idea to me to switch to some new font encoding
specifically for unicode fonts which isn't define as rigourously as a
'normal' font encoding (as in every character in the encoding must be
present in the font) but rather is used in XeTeX for having somewhere
to work with for features specific to these fonts (xunicode would be
subsumed into it, as well).
AU - 'arbitrary unicode' for example.
It doesn't seem especially like a good idea to me to overload the U
encoding. But I'm not particularly knowledgeable about the details of
the whole LaTeX encoding thing, besides having read the relevant
chapter in TLC2.
Best wishes,
