I had some success with this -
-(void) loadFonts {
// Get the main bundle object
NSBundle * appBundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *fontsPath = [[appBundle resourcePath]
stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Fonts"];
if (fontsPath) {
NSURL *fontsURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:fontsPath];
if (fontsURL) {
// Using the Carbon APIs: get a file reference and
spec for the path
FSRef fsRef;
FSSpec fsSpec;
(void)CFURLGetFSRef((CFURLRef)fontsURL, &fsRef);
OSStatus status = FSGetCatalogInfo(&fsRef, kFSCatInfoNone, NULL,
NULL, &fsSpec, NULL);
if (status==noErr) {
//activate the font file using the file spec
status = ATSFontActivateFromFileSpecification (
&fsSpec,
kATSFontContextLocal,
kATSFontFormatUnspecified,
NULL,
kATSOptionFlagsDefault,
NULL
);
if (status != noErr) {
NSLog(@"Error %d loading fonts from
%@",status,fontsURL);
}
} else {
NSLog(@"Error loading catalog info");
}
} else {
NSLog(@"Error creating fonts URL");
}
} else {
NSLog(@"Error creating fonts path");
}
}

In my application's user interface I want to use some TrueType fonts
which are not built into the OS. (Yes, they're free and their
licenses allow this sort of use.) I thought I remembered a way to
embed fonts in an application bundle, or to programmatically load a
font from a file; but I'm drawing a blank now when I try to look it
up.
Surely I don't have to copy the fonts into the system (~/Library/
Fonts) like in the bad old days? :-P
