The X11 standard fonts will in the foreseeable future anyway be
available in ISO 10646 directly, with no further application-level
conversion necessary. Adobe Symbol will be merged into Adobe Times (for
which it was designed). Pre-release of all this already available on:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html
So don't worry about Adobe Symbol conversion tables for Tk. It would get
the phi/phi1 and many other problems in the fonts wrong anyway.
