Is there a convenient app or utility for displaying the glyph table --
meaning the list of all the letters and symbols associated with the
current font (or another given font), and the keyboard combinations to
produce each of them, if they're keyboard-producible?

Something equivalent to the old "Keycaps" DAs in earlier Mac OS's?

Apologies if I'm missing something, but I don't seem to be finding such
on my system or in the related documentation -- and not finding the
keystroke combinations in the Character Palette.

(For OS 10.4/Tiger in particular).

System Preferences / International / Input Menu

Turn on Character Palette and Keyboard viewer and Show Input menu in
menu bar.

Look at the Input Menu tab of the International System Preferences. If
you display it in the menu bar, you can select a keyboard viewer from
there.

I find PopChar X does this very well. It's available here:
<http://www.ergonis.com/products/popcharx/>

It's a bit pricey at 30 Euros (~US$45), but a real time saver if you
need its functions a lot.

I've found that the OS-provided Character Palette fills the bill rather
well. Just choose "Glyph" from the View popup for that display and then
select the typeface whose glyph table you want displayed.

Yes, I think Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer are excellent
additions to OS 10, and they _are_ both free. That said, for the work I
do I prefer PopChar X's interface, enough so that I'm willing to pay for
it. I find I can work faster with it than Character Palette. Your
mileage obviously varies.
