[ft] Easiest way to support very old 'typ1' fonts?

[Derek Clegg]

I have a collection of very old 'typ1' fonts for the Mac.  These  
appear to be little more than a Type1 font wrapped in an 'sfnt'  
wrapper.  Unfortunately, Freetype doesn't appear to support this  
format.  I have a few questions:
	— Am I correct that Freetype doesn't support 'typ1' fonts, or have I  
simply missed a configuration parameter somewhere?
	— If they aren't supported, would it make sense to add support for  
them, or are they simply too obsolete to bother with?
	— If the latter, is there an easy way to unpackage them to get the  
Type1 font data, so that I can treat them as standard Type1 fonts?   
Any tools available to help?

Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
Derek
