The font is implemented as so called a "Pi" font.
In Unicode handling, Windows and Cocoa apps map the characters to U
+F0xx area instead of the original ASCII.
So, for example, in order to display the digit in font, you should
specify 0xF030 ~ 0xF039 (= 0xF000 + '0').
ATSUI maps ASCII characters for binary compatibility with Classic apps.
I can successfully input those characters in TextEdit using the
Character Palette.

I'm trying to to build a font-based musical notation program in
Cocoa using a special TrueType music font called Boulez. When I use
an NSTextView object and select the Boulez font from the Font Panel
object, Lucida Grande is used instead. I've also tried setting the
font using setFont and the same thing happens. I adapted a Carbon
example using ATSUI and that displays the font just fine. Are there
some types of fonts that simply don't work with Cocoa's text handling?
I'd much rather create a Cocoa app than a Carbon app. From what I
understand it is possible to use ATSUI for displaying text within a
Cocoa app, but I haven't been able to find any example code or
tutorials for this particular combination. Does anybody know where
I can find such a thing?
Thanks very much,
