In addition to what George said, you can also search from <http://
developer.apple.com/>, for example, search for
"FMCreateFontFamilyIterator" and at the top there is a "Higlighted
Results" section that will take you to that API's doc.  Then you see
listed there: "Available in CarbonLib 1.0 and later when running Mac OS
9 or later. Available in Mac OS X 10.0 and later"

Well, from the look of FMCreateFontFamilyIterator's docs, FreeType
already needs Mac OS 9.

Which OSes to support all depends on your target audience/customers, of
course, but I can tell you that most Mac developers these days are
targeting Mac OS X 10.3 or later.  ATS was introduced in 10.0, so
switching to it would mean abandoning Mac OS 9.
