I see :( Could you file a ticket about this? I believe we should expose the
structure fields for these special Boxed objects.

Yep, the file ships with the system, so we have full control. I just checked
and the problem has been fixed in the new version of BridgeSupport that we are
working on.

It is possible to fix the problem by manually editing the file.
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/CoreText.framework/Resources/BridgeSupport/CoreText.bridgesupport
Then, locate the description of CTLineGetStringRange. It should be something
like:
<function name='CTLineGetStringRange'>
<arg type='^{__CTLine=}'/>
<retval type64='{?=qq}' type='{?=ii}'/>
</function>
And replace with:
<function name='CTLineGetStringRange'>
<arg type='^{__CTLine=}'/>
<retval type64='{_CFRange=qq}' type='{_CFRange=ii}'/>
</function>
I understand that editing the file manually is probably not an option if you
intend to ship the project later, but I think we can add a fix in trunk to
expose the fields. We can maybe find another workaround if needed.
Laurent
