Well, since you posted I've been looking at the unicode support
documents; it appears that I can find all the characters I need (or
analogs) but not in one font. Worse, the documentation isn't very
clear. I can see creating a mapping function that traverses a C
string and maps the ASCII to Unicode constants - but I can't see how
to create unicode characters; NSStrings contain them, it seems, but
how do I create the strings in the first place?

I meant turn your encoding into unicode and then use a normal
unicode font to display the information. Or or the custom
characters you have so unusal that there really aren't any unicode
mappings for them.
Yes, certainly, if you can map the text to Unicode that would be
preferable. If not, then the private use area is available. If
not that, then perhaps the custom glyph generator.
