Ok, the cvs version of fontforge now supports these guys.
I just stripped out the 'TYP1' table and sent it off to my type1 parser,
and it all worked.
The 'TYP1' table is not a standard type1 format, it's more like a binary
version of a gsf file (the table is only encrypted once (for the
charstrings), but unlike gsf the encryption is binary).
The file has version "number" 'typ1'. and contains the following tables:
ENCO
FNAM
HFMX
TYP1
cmap
fdsc
kern
name
