I started looking at this. Unfortunately the FSSpec type has wormed its
way into the API for the mac:
  FT_EXPORT_DEF( FT_Error )
  FT_New_Face_From_FSSpec( FT_Library    library,
                           const FSSpec *spec,
                           FT_Long       face_index,
                           FT_Face      *aface )
  FT_EXPORT_DEF( FT_Error )
  FT_GetFile_From_Mac_Name( const char* fontName,
                            FSSpec*     pathSpec,
                            FT_Long*    face_index )

David, how do you want to handle this? It looks as though the API will
have to change to avoid this depreciated type.
