  If you're really not afraid to go to a low level, you could use the
T1UTILS1 package by I. Lee Hetherington to swap around the character
names inside type 1 font files which are in windows .PFB format or
unix .PFA format (but not Mac System extension format).  Of course,
you would have to change the .AFM to match, and regenerate a new .PFM
from the .AFM (REFONT11 from ftp.cica.indiana.edu does this).  Also,
when swapping around characternames inside the Type1, beware of
fouling up seac's (one of the numerical parameters to _seac_, the
command that generates composite characters, refers to the character
in the font which has the name which is associated with that number in
the StandardEncoding vector).  A port of T1UTILS1.ZIP to Ms-Dos is
available on garbo.uwasa.fi, and on the garbo mirror in
wuarchive.wustl.edu.  Sorry, can't help you with Truetype...
