Charles,
The string encoding stuff in Cocoa (NSString) does support as many
encodings as in CoreFoundation. It's just that NSString.h doesn't list
them all. Instead, they are enumerated in CFStringEncodingExt.h as the
central place.

Hi Andy:
This worked for me...thanks! I tried this last time using a Cocoa-only
approach, however it failed then. I think the reason is that Cocoa
does not appear to support as many text encodings as CoreFoundation
(which I don't really understand because I think one is based on the
other.)

Hi,
Does anyone know how to determine if a font is made to handle Asian
(Japanese, Korean, etc) characters?
This will tell you the font encoding, putting the description in a
label
onscreen.
Look at the classes mentioned, plus NSFont and NSFontManager and you
will soon see how to classify fonts. The only tricky thing is you need
to use the Core Foundation APIs as well as AppKit:
//decoding string encodings requires use of Core Foundation CFString
functions,
//the NSString stuff is deprecated
cfsEncoding =
CFStringGetNameOfEncoding(CFStringConvertNSStringEncodingToEncoding
([m_currentFont
mostCompatibleStringEncoding]));
[[fontEncoding cell] setTitle: [FontWindowMediator
CFStringToNSString: cfsEncoding]];
