Font names

Hi!

I'm trying to brigde a REALbasic (so carbon) chat application with my
cocoa chat client. the problem is that a font in carbon has a different
name than in cocoa. what I mean is that in cocoa everything is splitted
into font/family/etc. (and bold/italic etc) but in carbon it's just
"Copperplate" and "Copperplate Light". So when a message from the
carbon app arrives with the font name "Copperplate Light" my cocoa
client won't handle it because there's no font exactly named
"Copperplate Light" than rather a font object "Copperplate" with
family/style or whatever called "Light". Is there some sort of
converter for such things? Like a method which returns an NSFont object?


Cheers, Thilo
