We were talking about why Character ID OpenType/CFF fonts do not
render properly in ftview, and why some OpenType/CFF fonts do.

Some of the fonts that Sivan talked about failing under a Linux
compile of the Freetype snapshot and succeeding under a Solaris are
available in Adobe's OpenType Font Development Kit (FDK).  This FDK is
noting more than a bunch of tools for turning existant Type 1/CIDFonts
into OpenType/CFF fonts.

As far as I know, Adobe will license it to non-US citizens/companies.

I hope this helps.
