This documentation describes in detail how to access the special Turkish
characters, which are contained in all of Apple's Roman TrueType fonts.
As a bonus, you get a multiplication sign for the useless lozenge.

You need only ResEdit.

(1) Duplicate a font suitcase and remove all bitmap fonts from the copy.

(2) Open the font suitcase with ResEdit.

  * Rename the 'FOND' and all 'sfnt' resources (menu "Resource :
    Get Resource Info"). For example, change "Times" to "Times TR",
    "Times Bold" to "Times TR Bold", etc.

  * Open the 'FOND' resource (menu "Resource : Open Using Hex Editor").
    Replace the first letter of the font name with an "X"
    (menu "Find : Find ASCII..."). For example, change "Times" to "Ximes".
    Thereby your modified fonts will not be substituted by resident
    printer fonts.

  * Open an 'sfnt' resource.
    Change the hex string (menu "Find : Find Hex...")
    "B9BABBBCBDBEBFC0C1" to "F0BABBF8F9FAD7FBFC".
    Repeat for all 'sfnt' resources in this suitcase.

(3) You can find a keyboard layout and international resources in
    "Eudora Central/East Europe"
