This is what I have figured out so far: According to the Quartz 2D programming guide Quartz 2D provides a limited, low-level interface for drawing text encoded in the MacRoman text encoding and for drawing glyphs which probably explains my problem with using CGContextShowTextAtPoint(). I

Thanks David. My CGContextRef is the current context. I'm just unfamiliar with how to draw a unicode character into it when I don't know the font containing a specific unicode glyph. I'm doing this for OS X 10.7 which is all I need to support. Thanks. On Mar 30, 2012, at 11:56 AM, David

The final code ended up looking like this NSDictionary* fontAttrs = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: [NSColor redColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName, [NSFont systemFontOfSize:12], NSFontAttributeName, nil];
