Unicode.sfd should apply to all TTFs (or OTFs) which contain a
Unicode cmap.  Today, virtually all fonts have such a cmap since it is
needed for Windows.

Aah, FontForge uses .sfd files for its own format!  This is an
extension clash.

The font's cmap format gives the needed subfont definition file.  Just
stay with Unicode.sfd and the other U***.sfd files (which use Unicode
encoded input codes as input) and you are fine.
