Another option for re-encoding fonts is to hack the font cmap table itself. The easiest way to do this is probably with Just van Rossum's TTX tool. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/fonttools/. This is a Python-based open source tool that decompiles TTF and OTF fonts to a human-readable XML file, which can then be edited and recompiled to a font. I have used this tool for a variety of purposes, but do not have any experience working on fonts with supplementary plane codepoints, so cannot verify its usefulness for this purpose.For people on Mac OS X, there is a set of tools available for download from <http://developer.apple.com/fonts/> which, like TTX, can decompile table from TrueType and OpenType fonts and let the user edit the results. These *do* support astral characters.
