Sorry for my many replies... It turns out that if you set the NSForegroundColorAttributeName of the attributed string in NSTextView's text storage, the call to setSelectedTextAttributes: doesn't have any effect when called as described below: NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[[textView selectedTextAttributes] mutableCopy] autorelease]; [dict setObject:[NSColor redColor] forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName]; [textView setSelectedTextAttributes:dict]; Setting the background color works fine though. I cannot see anything regarding this limitation in the documentation - is it by design or is it a bug?
