I don't suppose you would care to share the content of that script? It just so happens I have been try to do the same thing off & on for the last few days - hadn't hit on the resource fork thing...

Is it possible to load a font from the application bundle rather than
from the font directory?

Something like this (slight simplification of Shaun Wexler's code):

NSURL *fontsURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: [[[NSBundle mainBundle]
resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Fonts"]];
FSRef fsRef;
FSSpec fsSpec;
(void) CFURLGetFSRef((CFURLRef)fontsURL, &fsRef);
(void) FSGetCatalogInfo(&fsRef, kFSCatInfoNone, NULL, NULL, &fsSpec,
NULL);
(void) ATSFontActivateFromFileSpecification
(&fsSpec, kATSFontContextLocal, kATSFontFormatUnspecified, NULL,
kATSOptionFlagsDefault, &container);


However, do note that by far the biggest problem (in my experience) is
getting the blasted font into the bundle to begin with! If you just use the
built-in copy files phase, the font file is stripped of its resource fork,
which, in many cases, is where the information was. So you have to use a run
script phase instead. Until I figured this out, I couldn't get the above
code to work (because the font file was no longer a valid font file). m.
