[Thanks for the font.  Note, however, that I've asked to send the file
 off-list!  First of all, it is far too big, so it was properly
 rejected, fortunately.  Second, it is a non-free font, which must not
 be distributed.]

This explains a lot, thanks.  Your version of the `ftdump` program is
too old; it has been fixed a long time ago to no longer mangle the
high byte of UTF-16 characters.  Below you can see the output I get if
I call `ftdump -n -u simhei.ttf`.
