The problem is that the font is incomplete: it contains glyphs scavenged
from other character sets (by me) and there are 1268 hanzi codes without
glyphs.  These characters are not in GB2312, Big-5, KSC5601, JIS208
or CCCII.  Nelson Chin has been going through the font regularizing
the radicals, and it seems he's put in the radicals for these omitted
characters, thinking it better than nothing.
