I'm afraid that the TrueType spec prohibits fonts from having glyphs
for characters 0-31. Thus, CM can't be translated into TT without
changing the encoding.

There are Type1 -> TT converters (and TT -> Type1). I've used only
one, AllTYpe by ATech. It works only for fonts encoded with
AdobeStandardEncoding, so many characters will be missing if you try
to convert Dingbats, Symbol, or CM fonts. Atech gives lousy support
(i.e., they won't deal with defects in their software), so people
should avoid them.

I hear better things about a font conversion program called Fontmonger
(available for Mac and Windows), but I've never used it, so I can't
say much.

However, you should be aware that since there isn't a one-to-one
mapping between TT and T1 hinting specifications, converted fonts will
have noticeably poorer quality, especially at low resolution and small
sizes, where hinting is most important.
