If I could ask the question again, would this mean that
"Big5" would be considered "supported" only when all the
13051 characters are supported?  Unfortunately, in the case
of "Big5", there are fonts (esp. some professional fonts for
special effects) with support of only the 5401 "frequently used
characters".

I understand that a similar situation exists also for Japanese;
i.e., there are professional fonts where Japanese should be
considered supported, when the font only supports a small subset
of the JIS character set.
