Sorry if I wasn't clear. That
support package "enables" Win2k to support ExtB - that is, after you run it
calls to GDI with surrogates now succeed with correct metrics, etc. The
included foint does nto cover ExtB as you note.
Once you have done that, you
can use ExtB fonts, such as the one in the Office XP Proofing
Tools.

Downloading
the support package there and running the download
installs the SimSun-18030
font.
The SimSun-18030 font (a TrueType Collection) does not appear
to
cover any Plane Two characters. It does cover CJK Ext A,
though,
and also includes base character support for Tibetan and
Mongolian.
