The problem with Code2000 is that it's designer doesn't know the
languages he's making the glyphs for. As a consequence, many glyphs
are just "wrong".
For example:

http://www.travelphrases.info/gallery/samples/Code2000__Japanese.gif
(see the first (left) glyph in the bottom line)
Or:
http://www.travelphrases.info/gallery/samples/ArialUnicodeMS__GreekPoly.gif
http://www.travelphrases.info/gallery/samples/Code2000__GreekPoly.gif
(also the first character in the bottom line)
