I hate to be negative, but I have doubts about how generic this approach 
may be. In some tentative experiments, I discovered that many (most?) 
CJK fonts don't use traditional postscript names, but rather map from 
unicode to an indexed glyph number.

Fortunately, ttf2tfm's -w enco@Unicode@ notation seems to address this 
in most of the old test cases I tried.
