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,
