Well there's FreeType of course, the Microsoft Font Validation tool (I'm 
not sure that dumps the table but it might), then there's ttfdump, I 
suspect FontForge will give you the information too.

Obviously there may be other tools around, and of course there are 
always commercial solutions as well. All the ones above are FOSS 
projects of one kind or another.
