I guess I don't understand how to use that. I have no font specified.
ConvertFont returns a similar font style (e.g., Italic) and size to whatever
you put into it. What I want is to extract the user selected font and size
from the panel. "selectedFont" does what I want, as long as it has been
used previously with text. Here is what I am doing:
-(void)addString:(NSString*)string toPath:(NSBezierPath*)path {
NSFontManager* fmgr = [NSFontManager sharedFontManager];
// NSFont* theFont = [fmgr selectedFont];
NSFont* theFont = [fmgr convertFont:[NSFont systemFontOfSize:50]];
NSBezierPath* stringPath = [string bezierWithFont:theFont];
NSAffineTransform* tf = [NSAffineTransform transform];
[tf scaleXBy:1 yBy:-1];
NSBezierPath* uppath = [tf transformBezierPath:stringPath];
[path appendBezierPath:uppath];
}
BTW, the [string bezierWithFont:theFont] is straight out of the
"SpeedyCategories" file in the SpeedometerView sample code. Works great.
I wish I had found this long ago.
