I don't think it works like that ... you'll only get the message:

At least that's what I get here. If you "explode" the Hoefler Text 
suitcase (using fondu), you'll find that the fonts are .ttf. Do they 
work as AATs do?

That's why I think it's only possible --- at least for me --- to use the 
GIDs.

Any other options out there?
