Ah, sorry I didn't see these posts until now.

NSLog(@"what's up? %i", [artFont_1 glyphWithName:@"FULL STOP"]);
prints the glyph as "0" (which is NOT the glyph ID)
So what gives?
In fact, all of my glyphs return zero... mmm... yu
I'm sure many here know all this, but just in case anyone's confused about it,
in future, I'll post what I've found.
Opening the font on each machine, using Font Examiner (handy software... might
have to buy a copy!), I can see that the offset of all the glpyhs on my Macbook
