updateLayer vs not? By implementing drawRect: it automagically disables updateLayer for that view so the drawing mechanics are different under the hood. NSTextField may be using updateLayer while your manual implementation is not resulting in a different rendering of the text. Also try printing out the NSAttributedString from the NSTextField and see if there is a difference between it and your descAttribs. Good luck...
