I am not aware of ANY Unicode-based Type 1 fonts. Usually,
when you wish to do Unicode with T1 fonts, you use a CMAP (or the
equivalent thereof) to map between some other encoding and the glyphs
in the font.
On the other hand, there are a number of TrueType fonts for Unicode...

The other option is we finally break down and stop using OS
services for text rendering and switch to something like FreeType.
