  See http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/typeforum/unicodegn.html

and search for `glyphlist.txt'.

In the TeXLive data trees you can find it three times:

  texmf-dist/doc/generic/t2/glyphlist.txt
  texmf/dvipdfm/CMap/glyphlist.txt
  texmf/lcdftools/glyphlist.txt

>From those, the most useful list is probably the version in
texmf/lcdftools since it has some extension at the end especially for
TeX glyphs.

The version of glyphlist.txt texmf-dist/doc/generic/t2/ is old
and should probably be updated.

Please read the above URL carefully how glyphs not (yet) in Unicode
and glyph variants should be named.

See my other mail w.r.t the reduction of cbgreek Type 1 fonts in
TeXLive.
