I’m creating a WYSIWYG font menu using a custom view in each NSMenuItem to draw the name of the font in its own font. One problem I am having with it is that the first item under the mouse when it pops up is drawn highlighted, but when I move the mouse to the next item, the first one is not redrawn, even when the next one is drawn highlighted. So I have two items shown highlighted. After that, every time the mouse moves from one item to another one, both are redrawn. If I move back in to the first one, and then out again, the highlighting is redrawn correctly. It’s just the first time I exit the first item it doesn’t need to get notified to redraw.
I could try hooking up KVO to the menu’s highlightedItem property, but it doesn’t seem like I should have to. Another question I have regarding the WYSIWYG font menu is that it should identify some fonts as unsuitable for drawing their own font names, and revert to using the system font for those items. (Some fonts just don’t have alpha characters, others seem to font substitute when used but display with really goofy vertical metrics. So far I haven’t found any info on NSFont that is suitable for this test. I tried coveredCharacterSet and testing to see if it is a superset of the title characters, but it didn’t catch all cases and eliminated some fonts it shouldn’t have.
