i use
ttf2pt1 -e -l plane+0x06 font.ttf
that way it only converts the 0600 to 06FF range.
the -a flag, theoretically should work, but it didnt work for me.

most of the time i run as root, but i remember i ran it once as
a regular user after i compiled and installed it.

anyway, the patch will undergo some changes, feel free to track this
issue, but after the changes are done i dont guarantee it'll still be 
there, although i suspect it wont go away.

thanks a lot for your time.
