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



Please don't. The Tiger version of CoreText is a substantially different framework than the one in Leopard, in ways both obvious and subtle. Obviously there's nothing we can do to stop someone from reverse-engineering the Tiger framework, but we would hate for a third- party developer to end up with no recourse for a bug due to the developer's use of undocumented and unsupported interfaces.

For developers who want to use CoreText in Leopard but also deploy for Tiger, I would suggest looking at the headerdoc for CTGetCoreTextVersion() in <CoreText/CoreText.h>. Cheers,

Ned

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.
