This is an interesting proposal to deal with the glyph selection problem
caused by the unification process inherent in character encoding.
When Unicode was first contemplated, the web did not exist and the
expectation was that it would nearly always be possible to specify the
font to be used for a given text and that selecting a font would give
the correct glyph.
The Web may finally get to solve this problem, although it may still
take some time to be fully deployed. Please see http://www.w3.org/Fonts/
for more details and pointers.
Regards, Martin.
