Hi Kyle,

I will try to get the glyph name somewhere on the unicode website.

Instead of the methods you suggest I will use:

      NSGlyph name = [font glyphWithName:@"summation"];

Thanks.

Sounds like you're subverting the Cocoa text system.  Not a good idea.
Perhaps you should subclass NSLayoutManager to create custom text
containers, and NSTypesetter to lay out your math text.

For unicode characters in the 16 bits range I use the following code:
   NSGlyph glyph = [font _defaultGlyphForChar:ch];

I don't see this method documented anywhere.  Meanwhile, CTFont has
CTFontGetGlyphsForCharacters and CTFontGetGlyphWithName (which is what
you're probably going to want).
