Hello Jens. The documentation says Weight parameter is ignored when I use NSBoldFontMask. Changing the weight will not affect the result - I tried it.
As for render - we have a part of code that generates bitmap from it and we draw it using OpenGL. I am not really familiar with this part of code. I do not think it is related, since, as I said some fonts do work, so it is not render problem. Thanks, anyway. -----Original Message----- From: cocoa-dev-bounces+danyg=waves....@lists.apple.com [mailto:cocoa-dev-bounces+danyg=waves....@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Jens Alfke Sent: Monday, November 14, 2011 20:30 To: Steve Steinitz Cc: Cocoa Dev Subject: Re: Troubles with Bold and Italic fonts - Cocoa >> NSFontManager* fontManager = [NSFontManager sharedFontManager]; >> NSFont* font = [fontManager fontWithFamily:@"Helvetica" traits:fontStyle >> weight:5 size:12]; >> However, the displayed font is not always what I asked.

I haven't used that NSFontManager method before. My guess is that by specifying an explicit weight you've overridden the bold mask (although that's not quite what the docs say.) How are you rendering the text? -Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
