Thanks for the tip on getting the Glyph index by just pointing at the 
glyph; I clearly don't use FontBook very much!

My experimental application is trying to emulate how a vanilla TeX engine 
using Computer Modern places certain math glyphs on a page.  So I'm mired 
in various low-level internal details of fonts that most folks can (and 
should) ignore.  Hence my interest in knowing precisely what's different 
in Latin Modern as compared to Computer Modern.  Or for that matter the 
CMUnicode fonts you mentioned earlier.
