I have entertained the idea of being able to embed this information into the font itself as OpenType tables, e.g.: PUAB -> Blocks.txt PUAC -> CaseFolding.txt PUAW -> EastAsianWidth.txt PUAL -> LineBreak.txt PUAD -> UnicodeData.txt I've actually invented table names for the majority of UCD files, but those are probably the most relevant. The table names for the more obscure files get rather... creative, e.g.: PUA[ -> BidiBrackets.txt PUA] -> BidiMirroring.txt That alone may get some people to think twice about this idea. :P
