John,

The ATS framework, our font management layer, can work with Windows fonts.
You just have to install them in one of the folders for fonts.

I'm working on a program which needs to load a font from a Windows-origin ".TTF" or ".TTC" font, and turn it into an NSFont that would be suitable for rendering text as bezier paths (in my case, I use -NSBezierPath appendBezierPathWithGlyphs:count:inFont:).

Is this easily doable with Cocoa? Or am I looking at a painful process?

If necessary I could preprocess the font to be more Mac-friendly in some way, but that means wasting a few hundred K of disk space on our CD for two copies of one font. In the worst case (the Japanese version), that could mean up to 10MB gone. Not really thrilled about that option :)

Thanks for any suggestions :)
