Because they are ordinary TTF fonts w/ 8-bit encodings, they don't  
have any of the features desired.

They're also no-name knock-offs for the most part and I've found that  
they have kerning and spacing issues and problems w/ encodings (esp.  
accents).

There're lots of better typefaces w/ clear provenance and imprimatur  
--- better to use something which actually benefits the people who  
created the original designs.
