It isn't steep at all IMHO. If you implement such things carefully
you have to invest *a lot* of time, which makes an hourly rate of,
say, EUR 10.- or even less. A `professional' programmer working for a
company costs at least EUR 80.- per hour. Designing glyphs is very
time expensive, believe me.
I fully agree that it appears to be much money for a single person,
especially for students. Anyway, Han-Wen has to set priorities,
otherwise we would never see a new release.

You are misinterpreting the issue. The features you are requesting
are not held up, they are just put into a very long queue of things
which would be nice to be implemented. Paying him shifts *your*
particular problem to the top so that it is handled (almost)
immediately.
Find two other people with the same interest, and you get what you
want for the cost of a good dinner for two -- or two seats for a good
concert.
