Re: What is the correct way to Embed Fonts with Unicode names?

If so, the font name comes
from the FOND resource if the font has one. The FOND is a older
resource and does not support Unicode names. They need to be in a Mac
encoding. The script is encoding in the FOND resource ID.

Actually I wanted to give the user option of selecting a name for this font. So the user may choose a name which is a mixture of Japanese/Chinese/English letters, say. But now, from your these words I infer that such a feature is impossible with FOND resources. Am I right? I can only give a name of specific Mac encoding only.

Yes, that is correct, you are restricted to a single encoding per FOND. You could have multiple FOND resources each of a different encoding reference the same font outline data.
