This is because the OpenType font contains a Unicode mapping
table (i.e. a table that says "U+E046 is named Q.alt" etc.).
Such tables get lost when an OpenType font is converted to
Type 1 since the latter format lacks support for them. For
Type 1, troff currently has internal mappings defined for
Latin and Cyrillic characters only.

There is currently no support for them in Heirloom troff
so this is not a surprise.
