This is an artifact of the way AppleScript works. The enumerations like
"type 1" aren't actually saved in the script; the stuff you are seeing is
the actual code that gets saved, and these are only turned back into
enumerations when you open the script in a script editor.

The workaround is is a series of if statements that give you a string rather
than an enumeration:

if fontType = type 1 then
 set fontType to "type 1"
else if fontType = ...
