Am I right that the CM-super package tries to minimize the number of
used fonts?  If this is the most important goal, I fully agree with
such big fonts.  Otherwise I wonder whether the Omega approach isn't
probably better: to have `glyph containers' with at most 256
characters each -- fonts like omsela.pfb for Latin, omsecy.pfb for
Cyrillic, etc.

[A marginal note: It seems that noone has ever tried to provide LaTeX
support files for the excellent Omega fonts (i.e. virtual fonts, font
definition files, etc.).]

Apropos smaller: How do you realize composite glyphs?  Do you use
Type 1 facilities to make the fonts smaller (via the AFM file)?  I can
imagine that this can greatly reduce the size of the fonts.

> * add glyphs from T2D encoding

So T2D this has already been defined, hasn't it?  I haven't seen any
announcement on this list...

> * include glyphs from cbgreek ec-like fonts

* Include glyphs from the vnr family to cover Vietnamese.

* Include all missing glyphs from the Unicode extended Latin sections.

BTW, I hope you have replaced the ugly `Euro' glyph from TS1 with
better looking variants from either the Marvosym or China2e fonts...

Another BTW: Do you use AGL compliant glyph names?
