So why isn't it? ATSUI *can* fill in the missing fonts automatically, but you have to tell it to. You call ATSUSetTransientFontMatching() for your layout object.

Re: Why isn't my character displaying
Stigma is not a common character. Can you see it in any applications? Which fonts do you have that contain Greek characters? On a standard OS X install, I think this character is only present in the Japanese Hiragino Pro fonts. Also in Code2000, if you add this. I don't know what fonts contain the characters. OSX's ATSUI is MEANT to auto-choose a missing glyph from other fonts, as I said in my original post. I can see this character in 2 other Unicode apps. Just not in my ATSUI attempt. Obviously I am not setting something up yet. But what do I have to set up? Do I have to do the font location myself? Or am I just missing a small set up call somewhere?

Why isn't my character displaying
Hi list, I'm directly calling ATSUI, for a framework I am writing. I have a character of value 987, "Stigma". This is part of my UTF16 string. The rest of the string displays just fine. But my Stigma doesn't, it shows up as the Rectangle. What is wrong? Is it something to do with font fallbacks? I am not touching font fallbacks at all. All I did was set the FontID for my ATSUStyle object, to that for Monaco plain. I'm a bit stuck here, can someone help? I thought ATSUI is meant to fill in the missing fonts, automatically??? So why isn't it?
