No - I have hardly ever seen any Type 2 fonts.

As far as I know, no tool out there makes CFF fonts with non-"Type 2"

In that case this fact should be documented by comments and backed up by an
assertion or the return of an error code by the CFF driver.

You over-react, Tom. I merely asked a question. I believe everything I read
on the FreeType developer mailing list ;-) Thanks for the information. The
Adobe font folks should perhaps be encouraged to correct their
documentation.
