Don't see why it wouldn't. I'm pretty sure the capabilities of a
TrueType font is a subset of a PostScript type 1 font;
The capabilities of PostScript font wrappers to manipulate large
numbers of glyphs are a little unsatisfactory. Hence, the CIDFont
mechanisms designed especially for CJK.
When converting TTF to PostScript fonts (be they Type 1 or Type 42),
you have a choice between converting to plain fonts or to CIDFonts. I
believe Gaspar was doubting the ability of Andrew's code to generate
CIDFonts.
There actually is a PostScript type code for a TrueType font; I don't
know how many PS interpreters will actually understand it, though.
In Adobe's case, almost anything since version 2013 (there are some
exceptions).
In HP's case, everything that claims to emulate 2013 or later (at the
very least since 4 MP).
In Ghostscript's case, anything since version 4.
