I found this old thread: http://lists.apple.com/archives/Cocoa-dev/2007/Jan/msg00181.html
which discusses the same problem I am experiencing. I need an italic version of Lucida Grande, which is the font currently returned by labelFontOfSize.
But, of course, I need a generic solution since labelFontOfSize may not always return Lucida Grande. Now, I could select a font like Helvetica Neue which has all of the various traits I need, but I would rather use the font returned by labelFontOfSize since I am drawing a label.
The solution proposed in the thread was to just add NSObliquenessAttributeName, which is easy enough, but I am not sure what the appropriate angle should be.
Is there a standard angle which should be used in this situation? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
