I think we need a new kThemeCurrentContextFont ThemeFontID.
I have a simple problem (riiight ;) I want to draw "large" text as
part of my custom hiview. In this case, "large" is generally about 33%
larger than the font used in the menu bar. Specifically, it's 24 pt
Verdana. The text will be in CFStrings and I don't know (or care) what
the encoding is.
So... how can I do this without relying on the QD port? Sure, I can
set the font and size in the port and use kThemeCurrentPortFont along
with HIThemeDrawTextBox, but I'm trying to move away from port usage
where possible (and practical).
I don't want to drop to the CG level and use CGContextShowText as it's
not CFString savvy (and therefore I assume not unicode savvy). I
certainly don't want to use CGContextShowGlyphs and deal with getting
the glyphs myself.
I guess I wonder if I could do this (at some point, I can put in a
radar if needed)
CGContextSetFontSize(ctx, 24.0);
CGContextSetFont(ctx, someFontRef);
And then call HIThemeDrawTextBox using "kThemeCurrentContextFont"
Seems like a logical progression and would give me the flexibility I
need without getting down and dirty with CG and glyphs.
