As is obvious from my thread of questions I am struggling to learn
about the Font system. I suspect that there are subtle differences
between a particular font (in my case Courier) that may be stored in
the System folder, the OS 9 folder, the shared fonts folder or the
user's folder.
Is there a way for me to use a font from a particular location. In
other words when I ask for the NSFont Courier I want to use the font
from a particular location.
No, since this is not supported by the core font registry implemented
in the ATS framework, it cannot be done in Cocoa, either. I'm looking
into how we can support a variant of this feature (i.e., supporting
multiple versions of a font based on technology, like TrueType and
PostScript) for the next major release of Mac OS X. You can write a
feature request for accessing different copies of a font based on
location against the ATS component at <

You'll need an account with Apple Developer Connection, but you can
become a free online member at <
