Many TrueType fonts provides also glyph names, but this table is optional.
Many program in that case synthetize glyph name from glyph index (for
example glyph1 - glyphn) or there is possibly take Unicode value (again if
available) and use Unicode name.

Those fonts don't contain glyph names at all.
