Fridrich, I think you want http://unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/APPLE/JAPANESE.TXT (and other files in http://unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/APPLE/ for other Mac encodings). (Someone else please commit this link to memory for me; I knew it existed but couldn't remember where to find it anymore :-( ) I thought I had remembered you telling me years ago that the WorldScript stuff was stored in the resource fork and was thus near-impossible for libwpd to use; I'm happy to see that appears not to be the case here :-) (maybe it was just the single-byte scripts?)
