  Hmm, then there's no better method.... 
  If so, how abut generating this kind of code automatically inserted into the 
framework headers? Or should
  the developer include this code by himself?

    I've seen this happend when linking libraries statically, but I don't
    have any better solution. Another idea is to put some dummy function in
    the framework, like
    
    --- linking.m ----
    #include <Foundation/Foundation.h>
    #include "AppKit/AppKit.h"
    
    void __objc_gui_linking(void)
    {
      [GSFontInfo class];
    }
    
    
    And then make sure you call that function from your main program.
