Followup question on a related note. 

When I have a japanese interpretation on a unicode BMP encoding, if I generate 
a font from that and then load the generated font it comes up as SJIS 
encoding. Starting with mikachan.ttf will do this for example 
(http://prdownloads.sourceforge.jp/mikachan/5513/mikachanfont-8.9.tar.bz2). 
Is this sjis encoding intentional? This happens only on "regular" sized 
japanese fonts. 

The ones with extra characters (like the "pro" fonts), or for example the 
opentype version of mikachan, (http://mikachan.sourceforge.jp/mikachan_o.lzh) 
comes up as unicode. 

Thanks
