>By the way, Hans' example showed an encoding file named 'gbk-81.enc',
which made it look as if the encoding file depends just on the charset of
the TTF file.  I believe this isn't right, and 'gbk-81.enc' actually
contains glyph indices in the TTF font.  This is a bit inconvenient (one
needs lots of distinct .enc files), and seems to be asking for trouble:
what if a user replaces the TTF font by a newer version with the same name
but different glyph indices?  Wouldn't it be more convenient to be able to
work with char codes from the Unicode cmap table instead?

Yes, and i will look into that later, when i pick up the chinese etc. thread.
