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

It is _far_ easier to display the font name using Unicode (ATSUI is amazingly easy to use once you figure it out). You really don't want to use Quickdraw for displaying the font name, it's just too much of a pain to back-convert the font to something Quickdraw can use.

Though, if you can, better use CoreText instead of ATSUI. At least that's what the Apple voices in my head told me ;-)


Rumour has it that there's even an (albeit in many ways broken) version of CoreText available on 10.4, but I haven't tried that myself. It's undocumented, but of course unlikely to change, so you can probably use it if it works, using the 10.5 docs as a guide.
