I started writing a program to parse the headers of truetype fonts to
examine their family info. But I can't manage to print out the strings
without the zero bytes in between each character (they display as a
black block labeled 'NUL' in Scite's output pane)
I tried:
stuff = f.read(nlength)
stuff = unicode(stuff, 'utf-8')
I think you need 'utf-16be', not 'utf-8'. See this page if you don't know
the difference:

print type(stuff), 'stuff', stuff.encode()
This prints:
<type 'unicode'> stuff [NUL]C[NUL]o[NUL]p[NUL]y[NUL]r[NUL]i[NUL]g[NUL]
Apparently I'm missing something simple, but I don't know what.
