There is no Ruby workaround. What I currently do is I have a workaround
subclass of CATextLayer that takes an explicit type instead of NSCFType and
subclass/use that from MacRuby.
% cat CALayerWorkarounds.h
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
@interface WorkaroundTextLayer : CATextLayer
- (void)setFontObject:(NSFont *)font;
@end
% cat CALayerWorkarounds.m
#import "CALayerWorkarounds.h"
@implementation WorkaroundTextLayer
-(void)setFontObject:(NSFont *)font {
self.font = font;
}
@end
Met vriendelijke groet,
Eloy Durán
