How is it that adding a font suitcase (~MathType Fonts) to the system
fonts changes the glyph mapping of other fonts?!? In my case, [[NSFont
fontWithName:@"Symbol" size:12.0] _defaultGlyphForChar:c] return
different glyphs depending on whether ~MathType Fonts is installed or
not.
This is quite annoying since my program needs some mathematical glyphs
(e.g. for the Unichars 0x03B1-0x3B2 [greek letters] or 0x239B-0x23AD
[pieces of bracket]) which simply disappear from the "Symbol" font.
Does it mean that I cannot rely on the "Symbol" font being a default
font with a fix glyph mapping? What are the other solutions? Trying all
the fonts for all the characters is quite a brute force method, and
anyway, some glyphs sometime doesn't exist at all in any other fonts...
Any help greatly appreciated, as always!
