Or...

#ifdef __APPLE_CC__
#include <Carbon/Carbon.h>

I didn't have to do this. I run ./configure first though. I have added 
a build phase to do this.

Still can't get dfonts to work. Getting everything from 0x01, 0x02 to 
0x55 error codes. Though not sure whether I can believe these because 
in certain circumstances ftmac returns different error codes to ftobjs 
for the same situation.
