problem converting TTF using TTFReader

I get the following output when attempting to generate a font metrics file from an OCR true type font:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TTF Reader v1.1.1

Reading /home/mpartridge/fonts/OCR/OCR-A.TTF...

Number of glyphs in font: 115
Unicode cmap table not present
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0
        at java.util.ArrayList.RangeCheck(ArrayList.java:507)
        at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:324)
        at org.apache.fop.fonts.TTFFile.createCMaps(TTFFile.java:449)
        at org.apache.fop.fonts.TTFFile.readFont(TTFFile.java:439)

        at org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader.main(TTFReader.java:184)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the command line I'm using (on Solaris):

java -cp ~/src/fop-0.20.5/build/fop.jar:~/src/fop-0.20.5/lib/avalon-framework-cvs-20020806.jar:~/src/fop-0.20.5/lib/xercesImpl-2.2.1.jar:~/src/fop-0.20.5/lib/xalan-2.4.1.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader ~/fonts/OCR/OCR-A.TTF ~/fonts/OCR/OCR.xml

Is this a problem with the font file itself?

Yes. It is common for OCR and barcode fonts to omit the
cmap, for whatever reason.
Try the telliung TTFReader to use winansi encoding, assuming
the character range in the font fits the encodable range.
