FT_Attach_File does not recognize Type 1 Multiple Master Metrics files

FT_Attach_File() does not recognize the *.mmm file in this (very old) font:

The specs for *.mmm seem to be here:

I’ve noticed this when opening “MoveMe MM” into FontView. FontView checks for the presence of .afm and .mmm metrics files when opening .pfb, and then calls FT_Attach_File() to attach the metrics. However, it looks like FreeType doesn’t recognize the format of .mmm files.

I’m certainly not saying that bugs related to Type 1 Multiple Masters would be worth fixing, but still wanted to file a report in case you’re interested.
