Yes, that would be possible (but is a bit more complicated
to implement compared with always using glyphshow, isn't
it?). cp1252 is available in iconv() implementation of at
least Linux (as CP1252 or WINDOWS-1252).

I tested the patch for embedding, it simply crashed in
Inkscape::Extension::Internal::PrintPS::embed_t1() in the
first test (it's a non-standard [i.e. not from Ghostscript
but from a font CD] font, but anyway).

But TrueType (encapsulated as Type42 font) would be
important since on most system most scalable fonts are
TrueType and it would be confusing if only Type1 would work.
If only Type1 is possible at the moment, it would be clearly
mentioned in the UI.
