This behavior in OS X 10.3 is not what I saw in 10.2:

I tried several fonts with control pictures, which are not in Lucida 
Grande.  In this case, using Unicode did not chose Lucida Grande, but 
one of them.  Which one depended on which font was enabled.  Also, if 
some fonts had only some, the font might still be chosen.

The behavior was such that I thought I'd use imageSource if I ever got 
back to that project.

What you see might be related to bugzilla 2493.

In OX X 10.2 I think my tests were only with Lucida Grande.  The 
control pictures were very ugly.  I suspect that some OS test font was 
used for some reason.
