Whatever font it is, the images do *not* show `PMingLiU' from
mingliu.ttc!  This font can't be displayed with the autohinter because
the glyph components need the bytecode interpreter to be positioned
correctly.  Please always use ftview, ftstring, or ftdiff to inspect
the font.  At the font size you are showing, mingliu.ttc contains
embedded bitmaps to improve the rendering, BTW.
