I don't think gimp is 16 bit font aware

Can you split out a partial character sets of 255 characters from the 
potential 0xFFFF characters that there are (sorry i think in hex).

there are a whole bunch of font editors at http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/
utilities_fonts_unix.html.

maybe one of those editors or convertors will assist you.

or does open office allow you to access the require characters, if so produce 
what text you want and do a screen grab (very messy but a soultion if you are 
desperate)

Robin
