Getting to the individual draw commands for the text/characters would be a first step ...and maybe even enough for what I am after.

Well, I probably don't really need the image extraction Just getting the text draw commands might suffice. cheers -- Torsten _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
