This was attempted in <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/36382> but was reverted due to bug 20846 and to Tiger NSFontManager completely hiding LastResort.

On Tiger, it looks like -[NSFont fontWithName:@"LastResort"...] might work.

Looking at <http://wikipedia.org/>, I think I see LastResort used a lot for rare languages - what am I missing?

The ATSUI code path used for complex text on Tiger and Leopard uses LastResort. The fast text code path and the Core Text code do not.

Can this be made to work on newer systems, if not on Tiger?

Per comment #1, Tiger is probably not the issue. Bug 20846 is.
