Macintosh Platform Script Code Constants

ATSUI identifies the script ID of a particular font name string by a constant of type FontScriptCode. You can use one of these constants as part of your search criteria in the functions ATSUFindFontFromName and ATSUFindFontName. The function ATSUGetIndFontName passes back a constant of this type to represent the script ID of a font name string. Note that is the encoding of the font name string is not specified, you do not need to specify a script code.

The font name script code identifies the platform version, or in the case of the Macintosh platform, the script ID of the font name. The script ID identifies the writing system being used (for example, MacRoman). A font can support multiple encodings.
