I'm going to release rc2 today or tomorrow, which will complete the
update of the port to unicode-2.  Depending on reported issues, I
think it would soon be ready for committing, depending if people
decide to allow it.

BUT, I have not tried it with the new multi-tty changes that made it
into the branch a week or two ago.  I'll look at the effects of this
after the release.

Regarding the font backend question, FWIW, I have already deleted the
Cocoa port's old font handling code.  I also suspect the Carbon/AppKit
port could use most of what is in nsfont.m, changing out my uses of
CoreGraphics in draw() for existing Carbon code.
