I'm curious about why ttf? It's a proprietary format with binary file
structure. Wouldn't it in that case be easier to change the original bdf file so
that the glyph definitions and the encoding field there would conform to 
iso10646-1 ? Having done that myself, I think this is way easier than 
doing ttf conversion, - do I miss something?
