Hi David,
I gave up using the drawGlyphsForGlyphRange: method as I just couldn't
figure why it was drawing the glyphs were it was. I'm getting decent results
now using NSBezierPath's appendBezierPathWithGlyph:inFont:. I set up the text
system as though I were going to use NSLayoutManager to draw it. I use
boundingRectForGlyphRange: to help size my font to fit the image width I want
and then use glyphAtIndex: to get the glyph I want to draw.
If you decide to go this route you could add the underline and
strikethrough manually to the bezier path without much difficulty.
I use the ascender and descender font metrics to determine where to
start drawing the bezier path relative to image origin. You could also use
these metrics to determine where to draw your marks.
