Suitcases often have more than one FOND.  Most of the Apple system 
fonts (.dfont) have multiple FONDs.

In my version of ftmac.c, the index represents the 'i'th face in the 
suitcase, like this:

    for (res_index = 1; ; ++res_index)
    {
                fond = Get1IndResource( 'FOND', res_index );
                if ( ResError() )
                {
                error = FT_Err_Cannot_Open_Resource;
                goto Error;
                }
                if ( face_index < 0)
                break;

                num_faces = count_faces( *fond );
                if ( face_index < num_faces )
                break;

                face_index -= num_faces;
    }

I didn't think anyone else would be interested in access to multiple 
faces so I didn't submit my changes.  If you'd like to see them, please 
contact me off list and I'll send you a copy.
