I don't recommend converting to type 1. Better to just use ttf2tex with
its expert switch. That'll get you access to all the standard expert
glyphs, though you'd need to write the typescripts. It'd be nice to see
someone extend ttf2tex to do this too though (it already creates all the
files for LaTeX).
