I did say "all Unicode 2.1 glyphs", if the OP is in an environment (such as
a corporation) that has Office 2000 or 2002, then I would consider the font
"usable", outside a corporate environment its probably not as usable...

That's my understanding also. I use it primarily to see what the various
code points in Unicode are via the "Start - All Programs - Accessories -
System Tools - Character Map".
| Question: What is the memory footprint of using such a font?
Not sure. I would expect the font itself and/or individual glyphs to be
loaded and/or cached as a shared resource in GDI and/or GDI+ itself & not
directly impact the memory footprint of my app. However I don't know how the
GDI/GDI+ subsystem manages memory...
