You don't need freetype for that decision. Look at the first few bytes
of the file:
Type1 fonts begin with
"%!PS-"
or (for pfbs)
80.01.?.?.?.?.
"%!PS"
TrueType fonts begin with:
00.01.00.00
or
"true"
ttc files begin with
"ttcf"
OpenType files begin with
"OTTO"
Bare CFF fonts begin with
01.00.04
SVG fonts begin with
"<?xml"
