How to activate font(s) in wake of ATSFontActivateFromFile..

It seems in 10.5 this routine is deprecated but if you require a font to
be application available and had been using this to achieve private
activation, what now are your options?

Maybe I'm going about this all wrong but I wanted to package a font and
activate it at run-time. I hope not but the doc indication the change
doesn't lead one to any alternatives.

Help! TIA.

This is just one example of the general case "FSSpec is going out, use
FileReferences".

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/ATS_Concepts/
atsfonts_tasks/chapter_3_section_4.html> points to
ATSFontActivateFromFileReference its replacement.
