I have an application for which I would like to display only ATS (not QD bitmap) fonts in the Font Panel. Is there a correct way to do this? It appears that routine calls to ATSFontDeactivate() may not the right thing to do, because it deactivates fonts globally.


Additionally, the return values for  ATSUGetIndFontName for
a QuickDraw(?) font are very strange.

OSStatus ATSUGetIndFontName(
    ATSUFontID iFontID,
    ItemCount iFontNameIndex,
    ByteCount iMaximumNameLength,
    Ptr oName,
    ByteCount *oActualNameLength,
    FontNameCode *oFontNameCode,
    FontPlatformCode *oFontNamePlatform,
    FontScriptCode *oFontNameScript,
    FontLanguageCode *oFontNameLanguage);


-- function return value is 0 noErr.
-- oActualNameLength is some strange number (eg 28 for Courier New)
 -- Ptr oName contains the empty string. (I think.)

I am using the empty string value to detect (bad) QD fonts, but it seems like an inconsistent set of return values.
