I may be confused about this one. I was put off by the fact that my text looks awful on the full-sized Retina simulator, but now it appears that it *always* looked awful on the full-sized Retina simulator. It seems that CATextLayer is **drawing** the text, not using the text system. So now I have a different problem, namely that I don't understand the note at the top of the CATextLayer class docs, since my text drawing in CATextLayer looks the same with or without an opaque background. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, http://www.apeth.net/matt/ pantes anthropoi tou eidenai oregontai phusei Programming iOS 5! http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920023562.do RubyFrontier! http://www.apeth.com/RubyFrontierDocs/default.html TidBITS, Mac news and reviews since 1990, http://www.tidbits.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
