For those of you who are interested in this sort of thing, I've posted
an 884-page PDF document that illustrates TeX's loading of a few font
metric files:

nullfont (internal)
cmr10
cmsy10
cmex10

The document and sources are available:
[http://tex.aanhet.net/temp/fontreader.pdf fontreader.pdf]
[http://tex.aanhet.net/temp/fontreader.zip fontreader.zip]

Beware, the PDF is pretty large (7.7 MB). MetaPost, Perl and ConTeXt sources are quite small (12 kB), but very much a hack.
