How odd -- either it can't find the font, or it gets an error when  
trying to initialize ATSUI to use it, and so rejects it as unusable.  
I wonder why, given that it works elsewhere.

If you have machines with both 10.4 and 10.5 available, could you try  
the older font on 10.5 and/or the newer one on 10.4, to check whether  
it's the OS version or the font version that is significant?

Could anyone else using Leopard confirm whether you see the same  
behavior? I'm still running 10.4, and won't have a chance to try  
anything on 10.5 until sometime next week at the earliest.
