Thanks for fixing the bugs.

Summary: the following fonts also have subencoding 0:
* Latin Modern: lmdh, lmss, lmssq, lmvtt
* TeX Gyre: qag, qbk, qcr, qcs, qpl, qtm, qzc, qhvc

Open issue: lmtt misses \textperthousand, \texttrademark, \textservicemark
I agree, they would look ugly squeezed into the width of the other glyphs.
But what to do with textcomp's subencoding?
* virtual font that provides the missing glyphs
* new subencoding
Frank?

Yours sincerely
