+The Open Type Organizer project provides programs to list, modify
+OpenType font files, specifically, their 'name' and 'cmap' tables.
+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.
