I know how to use the text system. That wasn't my question. What I'm trying to do is figure out how -boundingRectWithSize:option: works and what it's good for. If it did what I understood from the documentation, it could make some things easier. But you seem to be right: it was wishful thinking. -- Bill Cheeseman b...@cheeseman.name _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
