Surely it would have been better to translate the PostScript coordinate into top left origin? Oh well, such is life….. Still isFlipped thing makes it much easier to handle, I wish I'd know about it before! The problem I had at the time if my memory serves me correctly was that I wanted to render Core Text into UIViews and (again AFAIR), Core Text expects Bottom Left Origin. This was under iOS 4, not sure how it would work under 6+. Question, is it possible to "flip" the CF coordinate system under iOS, so that both (UIView etc. and CF) operate with a Top Left Origin?
