First, that font-hack is gloriously outdated, so that probably doesn't help ^^.

And the out-of-unicode-coverage glyphs should definitely come from code2000 (i.e., -> I18N.ttf), IIRC.

Keep in mind that there's an extra configuration step involved for the font-hack to affect KF8 (i.e., .azw3) files (something along the line of Browser/KF8 handling in KUAL). But first, upgrade, I'm not even sure your current version actually handles KF8 at all.

I'm a bit short on time right now, and my K4 is currently the only device *NOT* running the fonts hack, so it may take a while for me to get back to you on this .

The good news is, looking at the code, the KF8 handling definitely puts everything custom ahead of Code2000, so I'm pretty sure you'll get glyphs from custom fonts. The only remaining issue is whether they'll be properly shaped or not for complex layouts...
