If you have a typesetting system, you can still extract all the PNG
images out of the font and replace some unicode letters with
corresponding \externalfigure[...]. You would probably violate the
licence, but you would get the desired result :)

The font has some nice images that could be used for whatever other
reason, not just SMS.
If you need to quickly find a picture of women with bunny ears for
party invitation for example ...
But joke aside. Even if you need a nice symbol set for horoscope in
the magazine, the font (the symbols, actually) might be handy.
