If the character-to-glyph mapping of a writing system is trivial
enough for it to be feasible to use @font-face and to commandeer e.g.
the Latin-1 Supplement (whether encoded in UTF-8 or windows-1252) or
to use the PUA (in UTF-8), then it is feasible to use the right code
points with @font-face without the browser having special support for
those code points (yes, even if the right code points are on astral
planes).
