Hmmm, was my information wrong in some way? The GUST website
mentions that the Tex Gyre fonts are closely related to the Latin
Modern project. So yes, maybe Latin Modern is strictly speaking not
a Tex Gyre font, but it is at least highly related.
The Tex Gyre site mentions that the Tex Gyre fonts are created by
the same "process" which also led to the Latin Modern fonts. So in
this way, LM can be considered the mother of all Gyre fonts.
It doesn't get better by guessing instead of understanding. The TeX
Gyre fonts are derived (and extended) from urw++ clones of fonts found
in standard PostScript printers twenty years ago. The Latin Modern
fonts are slightly lighter (and extended) redesigns of Computer Modern.
By using a hammer instead of an ancient stone you can of course
achieve by a similar process similar results...
