Thanks. Yeah, I think I did suggest 1, once upon a time. Ugh. Guess it'll have to do.
I kludged it by making my bound property an NSAttributedString and I set the font on that when setting the value. Really gross, but got me past this hurdle. > On May 19, 2016, at 07:00 , Andy Lee <ag...@mac.com> wrote: > > Suggestion 1: A few weeks ago I ran into the same problem.
