You could pick up the old TTFDUMP.EXE program from Microsoft Typography developer's web pages at http://www.microsoft.com/typography/creators.htm This utility can dump any or all of the tables in a TTF/OTF into a plain text file which is human-readable. Once the "cmap" table information has been "dumped", you can import the text into your process and process it. (It only works on Plane Zero fonts.) Best regards, James Kass.
