Even w/ such a font available, it's not all that interesting / useful 
IMO.

What good is Zapfino if one is typesetting _only_ the glyphs from 
Zapfino One, and doesn't have access to _any_ of the ligatures or 
alternates?

Similar things can be said of Apple Chancery, and even Skia and Hoefler 
Text.

giving 'em up)
