Does anyone know of a good program for examining fonts? What I am looking for is some way to, given a font, find out both the glyphs contained and the code points (bad term?) at which those glyphs are situated. Ability to read hinting/shaping tables a bonus. Suggestions?
In my quick review of responses to your question, I believe you have only received suggestions regarding programs on the Microsoft platform. On Linux, "pfaedit" is the program to use .�.�.
Binary for OS X is available with PfaEdit or rather FontForge. X11 is required. There's a non-X11 package but anyway...

And for the Macintosh there is Fontchecker (http://www.wundermoosen.com/Multi.aspx? f=1&tab=MacX&nav=abCde&page=fc).
Hiya S�amas�;-) I'd like to recommend you to try Unicode Font Info if you have not.

On OS X, you can extract cmap table -- "code points" -- and other tables from a font by ftxdumperfuser included in Apple Font Tools.

Released in Jaguar days but work fine with Panther.
You can use FontLab as a font viewer having useful features in demo mode. Dunno about Windows version though.
