+The Open Type Organizer project provides programs to list and modify
+the 'name' and 'cmap' tables of OpenType font files. It can be used to
+translate the 'name' and 'cmap' of an OpenType font in locale encodings
+to Unicode encodings, so the font file can be used in an environment
+which does not understand locale encodings. The translated tables are
+added to the font while keeping the original tables intact.
+
+Have a True Type font which is not recognized by X Window system?
+Chances are, the font is listed/indexed in an encoding other than
+Unicode! Open Type Organizer (oTo) will help to solve the problem.
+It will list font file organization and even add Unicode 'name' and
+'cmap' tables by translating the original ones. Your favorite ttf
+font can really work for you now.
