This invalidaccess thing on fontpaths has now been defeated.  I have seen
a nifty little routine that is called apathforall that happily allows you
to do apathforall on a path that has charcters in it, and proceeds to merrily
give you all of the coordinates and strokes.  It works on all type 1 fonts,
including the ROM ed ones.  I have NO idea who wrote it and don't know
how the guy got it, but it does work.  When I find out more, I'll put
out an update on the routine.
