More digging here.

It seems Type 1 font files contain multiple FOND resources - whereas 
TrueType fonts contain a single FOND resource if there are sfnt resources.

So, I added a check for a sfnt resource. If it fails, I add face_index to 
the FOND index - otherwise I reference the first FOND and use the 
face_index to offset the face association table (the old way).

This seems to handle Type 1 fonts fine.

However, there is problem with the Beijing .dfont file. Attempting to load 
it crashes FreeType. Can anyone confirm this? In theory this should be a 
problem on non-Mac hosts, because the TT loader is what is failing.
