Excuse me, could you tell me what is "glyph index" in your context?

According to Adobe TechNote #5014, in CIDFontType0, CIDMap interprets
CID number into 2 numerical values: FD Index and GD Value (see Figure
3). FD Index is an index, but GD value is an offset, so I'm not sure
these are what you expect. If the font format you're think of is not
CIDFontType0, please let me know.
