I think, it is not very logical to break a large unicode font to smaller
ones only for further junction to another large font. Or at least
this job should be done fully automatically. That's
why using .enc files doesn't seem to be a good solution.

And again, there are two questions I've already asked:
how can we preserve the kerning information and which encodings
should we use for these *.enc files?
