Extended Chinese Font Update?

Any info from Hanazono when the update for the extended Chinese font will be available? I've tried reaching out to Koichi Kamichi but haven't heard anything back in over a fortnight.

TBH we would also have to update Pleco to a) handle a second extended font (as the new extensions take us over the TTF 64k character limit for a single one) and b) recognize U+30000 as Chinese, so we probably wouldn’t support it until 4.0.

Fair enough; there probably isn't a huge rush for it. CC-CEDICT does have an entry for Biang biang mian already, though.

Any idea's what ever happened to Koichi Kamichi -or- Hanazono/HanaMin? They've seemed to disappear off the face of the earth...?

We can still build our own from the original GlyphWiki data, just not something we're in a particular hurry about (given the absence of dictionary entries for any new characters *other* than biang).

Not worried about Pleco at all - just found it kind of weird how they stopped pushing updates, thought someone here might have a clue.
