When on a Mac FreeType uses the Carbon interface to get at the resource 
fork of a font. This code resides in src/base/ftmac.c and is only 
compiled for macintoys.

When off a Mac, FreeType can grab a resource fork out of a macbinary 
file (or read a dfont directly). This code is a recent addition and 
resides in a section of code guarded by FT_CONFIG_OPTION_MAC_FONTS. 
[This chunk of code can be configured to read resource forks directly 
using <filename>/rsrc]
