r37054 fixed (well, it's more like added) support for these fonts, so
I guess this concludes what we want to fix for TL'15. The remaining
ones are bitmap fonts which I'm not sure we want to support.

The only regression I'm aware of so far is the Mac suitcase files
support, that's unfortunate but I don't think I can bring it back (or
like to spend too much time with it unless there is a critical one I
want to get working) without significant effort, so probably we should
list it as known issue so that people who absolutely need this can
avoid stepping into the problem.
