At present, FT2 provides no public API to access /FSType
entries in PostScript fonts, they are not loaded at all,
I think.

# the list of "known" entries can be checked by grep
# T1_FIELD_xxx in source files.

I don't think the lack of the feature is designed, maybe
it is just "not yet", because the original CID-keyed
font and PS Type1 font specification didn't have FSType.
I don't have sufficient sparetime to provide the patch
to add the feature, is it urgent issue?
