How to get the Font name from a font file in Mac osx 10.5?

Question

I want to get the font name of a font file in Mac osx 10.5. I have done this for Mac osx 10.6 using CTFontManagerCreateFontDescriptorsFromURL like this.

        CFArrayRef fontDescription=CTFontManagerCreateFontDescriptorsFromURL(cfUrl);
        NSDictionary *dict=[(NSArray *)fontDescription objectAtIndex:0];

        fontName=[dict objectForKey:@"NSFontNameAttribute"];

Core Text is only available in Snow Leopard. You need to use the legacy Apple Type Services (ATS) for Leopard and below.

Also see the ATS programming guide .
