Which version of mingliu.ttc?  I have version 2.10 (from 1997).

Hmm, using FreeType's FT_VALIDATE_PARANOID I see 1825 segments in the
Unicode cmap; the ranges you are talking about are segmented like
this:

  1821: 0xFFE0-0xFFE1
  1822: 0xFFE3-0xFFE3
  1823: 0xFFE5-0xFFE5
  1824: 0xFFFF-0xFFFF

This is correct, I think.  Apparently you have a different (older?)
version of mingliu.ttc.
