Well it may actually, since these pages provide the unicode indices
for some of the cm fonts.  We already have tex symbol -> char code for
the bakoma fonts in _mathtext_data, and they have the char code ->
unicode mappings in their "Character List", so it should be trivial to
build all the forward and backwards dicts we need.  Although I didn't
see any explicit reference to bakoma, they appear to be using them;
eg, compare the encodings at

  http://www.dessci.com/en/support/tech/encodings/texcmrom.htm

and 

  http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/encoding/cmr-ttf-encoding.html

Or is it just late and I've gone soft in the head?
