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.

Well, the other option, of course, is to avoid HIThemeDrawTextBox and just use ATSUI directly.

Hmm, yes, I could do that. Not sure why I didn't mention that. Probably because it was late and I was tired :)


Other than the fact that it's not as nearly convenient as HIThemeDrawTextBox and all it's wonderful goodness, that'll work just fine. I still think I'll go ahead and put in a radar for kThemeCurrentContextFont as it would be a huge convenience and make the migration away from the deprecated QuickDraw all that easier ;)

(Though why the Pascal to C and vice-versa APIs are deprecated is a mystery to me... they aren't really part of QuickDraw and there are a lot of apps that manipulate historical data in those two formats. Back to the old days of everyone rolling their own I guess. <shrug>)
