Hi, I been trying to figure out how to get the Bezier path for a character in different fonts, but can't quiet figure out why things dont work in some fonts.
Some (many) fonts do not rednder the right path for the glyph, a 'W' in in "Arial Black" for example is fine (looks like W), but in "Arial Hebrew" it looks like a J in some other fonts it just looks like a square box (as it is missing) yet it does exist in that font if I just use TextEdit for example I did something like this to get the path: NSTextStorage* storage = [[[NSTextStorage alloc] initWithString:@"W"] autorelease]; NSLayoutManager* layout = [[[NSLayoutManager alloc] init] autorelease]; NSFont *font = [NSFont fontWithName:FONT_NAME_HERE size:200]; [layout setTextStorage:storage]; NSGlyph glyph = [layout glyphAtIndex:gindex]; NSBezierPath path = [NSBezierPath bezierPath]; [path moveToPoint: NSMakePoint(0, -[font descender])]; [path appendBezierPathWithGlyphs: &glyph count: 1 inFont: font]; I even tried avoiding the layout manager all together by making NSImage and pulling glyph from font: NSGlyph glyph = [font glyphWithName:@"W"]; then locking focus on image before getting the bezierpath:inFont but same results Any help would be apreciated Thank You _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
