Googling for suit file format turns up lots of SEO-spam sites with no
details on what the format really looks like. I think it's just some
sort of primitive archive format that contains the ttf (or several
ttf's) and you may be able to search for a ttf header within it and
then just throw away the suit crap at the beginning using dd.
