Oh... sorry, didn't know that. ViewGlyph is basically a TrueType tool.

FontForge ought to be able to show you what you want, I expect, though  
it seems like overkill if all you want are glyph IDs.

Perhaps you could write a small XeTeX document that generates a PDF  
report showing the glyphs with their IDs; just use a loop to generate  
a table....
