That’s sort of odd (that string in Geneva 10 displays correctly in TextEdit.) Are you drawing directly to a view or into an image? My advice would be “don’t use Geneva”, which has been solid advice since 1991. Geneva was created as a bitmap font on the earliest version of Mac OS back in 1984, and had some truly screwy nonlinear metrics. A TrueType version was added in 1991 as an extrapolation from the original bitmaps, but it was kind of a hack. It’s only kept around for backward compatibility with old Carbon apps. For any real purpose you should use Helvetica instead. —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
