For the layout manager I must calculate the lengths of all the

font size and then ask for the length of this attributed string.
You mean you ask for its [attributedString size].width?
My question is. Why are labels rendered at 13 font when the NSFont
method labelFontSize returns a value of 10? What deep dark secrets
do I still have to learn?
Here's something interesting about your query:
1 - Quit and relaunch IB.
2 - Create a new app document
3 - Drag a "multi-line label" into the window.
4 - Note the size.
5 - Drag a "Label" into the window.
6 - Note the size.
Now:
1 - Quit and relaunch IB.
2 - Create a new app document
3 - Drag a "Label" into the window.
4 - Note the size.
5 - Drag a "multi-line label" into the window.
6 - Note the size.
... I think IB is doing it wrong. :-) File a bug.
If I recall correctly, in earlier IB versions, there used to be a
regular text field using + systemFontSizeForControlSize: with
NSRegularControlSize and a smaller "label" using the +labelFontSize,
but I might just be making that up. I thought I noted when Leopard was
in beta that this seems to have changed. Never thought twice about it
until now.
