i wanted to load a ttc at one point, too, and failed.

i found beer <http://www.eonet.ne.jp/%7Ehirotsu/myware.html>, a free
software collection, and ported it’s ttc2ttf tool to python (as a
challenge).

you can find my port here <http://pastebin.com/QXcAtP24>, but it doesn’t get
the magic numbers right. it works for me, though.
