What side dish goes well with Garamond as a main course?

Q1: I recently expanded my horizons and bought GaramondPro.

I've seen several write ups with guidelines on how to choose
compatible (i.e. "Friendly") font that play well together in typical
letters, reports, etc. (no art-y advertising, type stuff).

Is there a simple list of common (bold, underlined) fonts that are
compatible?


Q2: I use MS Word2003, not Unicode savvy, for various reasons (corp
standard, cost). I do have a 'fix up' macro that I run at the end to
address various common situations, such as replacing formatted SmCaps
with true SmCaps, ligatures, etc. 

Really only do it for something that I want to make special since the
replacement mappings are font specific (Private Area).

However, it was a PIA to get a glyph list with the Unicode values, so
that I could add the proper hex codes to the GaramondPro_Fix macro.

I had to use TTX to dump the cmap table, and then edit the text file
to clean it, and delete unneeded lines, etc..

It'd be really helpful is Adobe would include the Glyph Name - Unicode
Hex - Unicode Decimal correspondence in a file some where.  The spec
sheet if pretty, but not helpful in that regard.

Or is someone had a program to do that


Thanks
