        True, but the standard FT_New_Face() on the Mac goes through some 
special processing to provide transparent support for Mac OS fonts.  I 
would recommend that you use that call instead, so that FT can deal with 
all the complexities for you.

        I have some code that I haven't checked in yet that will give you 
the path name (and index) to pass into FT_New_Face() given a Mac OS font 
name.  I'm in the midst of a few other things, but will try to get that all 
in today or tomorrow.
