Considering that glyph names are font specific to start with (and
there is no universal standard), this may not have ever worked on
some fonts. Blame the font designers for this one...
On Panther it worked on the 70+ fonts I tested it with, fonts that
had widely varying glyph numbers for the same glyph. If you think
about it, on some level the system has the information - if you type
a single "T" by itself on a line, using a western font, a reasonable
glyph for a "T" gets drawn. That is the glyph I want.
An NSLayoutManager isn't all that bad
I know - the app has an extensive text system that uses them. But
this is really overkill for the purpose. More to the point:
1) it used to work
2) there is no reason why it shouldn't work
3) there was nothing that I saw in the release notes about its going
away.
ergo it is a bug. :-)
