So I tried getting using ATSUI to get the font information, but I
can't seem to get that to draw anything:
ATSUFindFontFromName(REALCString(fontName),
strlen(REALCString(fontName)), kFontFullName, kFontNoPlatform,
kFontNoScript, kFontNoLanguage, &fontID);
ATSFontRef atsFontRef = FMGetATSFontRefFromFont(fontID);
CGFontRef cgFont = CGFontCreateWithPlatformFont(&atsFontRef);
CGContextSetFont (myContext, cgFont);
CGContextSetFontSize(myContext, fontSize);
CGContextSetTextDrawingMode(myContext, kCGTextStrokeClip);
CFRelease(cgFont);
cgFont = NULL;
CGContextShowTextAtPoint(myContext, x, r.bottom - y,
REALCString(text) , strlen(REALCString(text)));
I would also still like to know what I should be using instead of
REALCString if REALCString is going to cause problems.
