"Glyph names in fonts do not always accurately identify the glyph"
(and the docs have said that for quite some time - this isn't a Tiger change)

"do not *always* accurately identify the glyph" - but in fact in most simple cases they do ... or did.


Note that this isn't a warning that the routine is deprecated or unsupported - it is just a warning that some fonts have odd namings and it may not give the result you want for those fonts.

You're correct that this isn't a Tiger change in the docs. It's a Tiger change in the code. My fonts didn't suddenly develop amnesia - someone took a working bit of code and changed it somehow and now it doesn't work. Since there was no mention of this going away I would certainly consider it a bug.

To each one their own goat.
