I have some menus containing special characters (of the sort found
in Dingbats or Apple Symbols). These were created in IB 3.0 by
simply using "Insert Character" from the Special Characters panel.
All works great until testing on some Tiger machines. Then, in the
menu display only, a few (not all) of the characters are substituted
with the "missing character" open rectangle.
Do you know for a fact that those glyphs are available on those Tiger
machines?
How is IB storing this font/character information? Is there some
system entity is looking at odd unicodes and deciding which font to
use? If so, what is that?
The font rendering scheme is pretty complex; there are indeed
fallbacks, and not all characters of a string will be rendered in the
same font as necessary.
