Ken’s selection of ATSFontFamilyFindFromQuickDrawName() seems more precise to me but AFAIK

cfs.font =  fn ATSFontFamilyFindFromName( @"Symbol", 0 )   // note the use of the "@" to provide a CFString

should work.

In addition to Ken’s #defines the following two lines are needed to make ATSFontFamilyFindFromName() work:

#define ATSOptionFlags as OptionBits
toolbox fn ATSFontFamilyFindFromName ( CFStringRef iName, ATSOptionFlags iOptions) = ATSFontFamilyRef
