The likely reason why stroke takes 80% of the drawing time here is that its being done first. I would suspect if you flipped the order then fill would take 80% of the drawing time. The reality is that its just the first attempt at drawing the string that is taking the majority of the time, not the manner in which it is drawn. But as was stated by Graham, you can set the text drawing mode to both fill & stroke at the same time. -- David Duncan _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
