Well, it looks so damned simple. I can use an app such as SigMaker to make a
new font containing several symbols which are rendered poorly in my app. After
installing this new font my app, the system should use my symbols instead of
Lucida Grande whenever their unicode points appear in strings. But the install
just doesn't work...
• To eliminate my own newbie errors with SigMaker, I go into /Library/Fonts and
make a copy of a known-good font, Herculanum.ttf. This font has at least all
the ASCII characters.
• I put the copy of Herculanum.ttf in my app's Contents/Resources.
• Editing my app's Info.plist, add
Key: ATSApplicationFontsPath
String Value: Herculanum.ttf
• Launch my app
Expected Result: Text fields' "System font" is Herculanum.
Actual Result: Text fields' "System font" is still the usual Lucida Grande.
Repeat without the .ttf extension in Info.plist. Still Lucida Grande.
Move Herculanum.ttf into Contents/Resources/Fonts and try each of the following
values for key ATSApplicationFontsPath in Info.plist:
Fonts
Fonts/Herculanum
Fonts/Herculanum.ttf
Still, all I ever get is Lucida Grande.
What else do I need to do?
I also looked at Gerriet's code...

But this looks like a different problem, Gerriet. You've got the font and
you're creating a font description.
Thanks for reading,
