Why? While Latin Modern has many glyphs, there are still large (latin
based) ranges of Unicode that are not covered. I would simply use a font
that does include proper glyphs for these Unicode positions. Gentium or
Charis SIL come to mind, which IMO look nicer than LM anyway.

IMO it is best to post e new message with a new subject when starting a
completly unrelated discussion. Replying to an existing message makes it
harder for the various clients to keep the threads together.
