Also (and maybe this is part of the reason it's not working for me),
could someone help me out with symbol-encoded fonts on Macs? There
are certain fonts - like Symbol and the old SIL 93 IPA fonts - which
don't seem to work in OS X like on Windows. Namely, in Windows if you
select Symbol and start typing normal ASCII characters with it, they
come out as Greek letters of other symbols; but in OS X it just shows
regular Roman text. Why is that, and is there a way to change it?

That seems to be true of some conscript fonts on web pages too - they
show up as regular Roman text. For some reason, David's Sidaan font
displays correctly.
