I've done some tests with a few different .otf fonts I had lying around on my system. The exact glyphs did exist in there, and I confirmed they were the same ones I was trying (text is a bit of an issue when there are so many characters that look the same but aren't!) It does seem that there's a bug with .otf fonts and GD when using characters outside of the Basic Latin Unicode block. For the record of testing, I was using the bundled GD (2.1.0 compatible) with freetype 2.4.10, on PHP 5.4.23. That might help diagnose where the issue is for you or others?
