branch: master
commit 562f34819229080abb05b4e7ae7e9e47fc84c6eb

    [doc] Type1 GX (sfnt-wrapped Type1) is not supported.
    
    * docs/formats.txt: Clarify the reference of Type1 GX,
    and state that this format is not supported.  This
    is because the content `TYP1' table is not exactly same
    with the Type1 font format specification; no eexec
    encryption is used.  For detail and concrete examples,
    see the analysis on:
