mlNSTextView Font Substitution

I have an NSTextView with no "Multiple fonts allowed" (isRichText = NO).
The font is the userFixedPitchFontOfSize: 0 (Monaco 10 pt).

But when I insert a THAI CHARACTER SARA E (Unicode 0E40), which has 
no glyph in Monaco, a replacement font is used. This is Lucida 
Grande, which is not a FixedPitchFont.
So things meant to be in nice columns get all messed up.

But if one has the "Additional Asian Fonts" installed, there is also 
Ayuthaya, which, being a FixedPitchFont, would be a much better 
replacement.

So: is there a way in Tiger to tell the text system to prefer 
FixedPitchFonts?

Kind regards,

Gerriet.
