I'm having issued with a subclassed NSTextView displaying linked text

except for the font name attribute.  The link text appears to be
rendered in the Helvetica font, while my default attributes call for
Monaco.
<snip>
myDefaultLinkTextAttributes = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys: [NSFont fontWithName: @"Monaco" size: 12.0], NSFontNameAttribute, [NSColor lightGrayColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName, [NSColor clearColor], NSBackgroundColorAttributeName, [NSNumber numberWithInt: NSUnderlineStyleNone], NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName, [NSCursor pointingHandCursor], NSCursorAttributeName, nil];
The key "NSFontNameAttribute" should be set to an NSString instance (the font name), not an NSFont instance.
So, for the first attribute key, instead of:
[NSFont fontWithName: @"Monaco" size: 12.0], NSFontNameAttribute,
use:
@"Monaco", NSFontNameAttribute,

NSFontNameAttribute (and others that have a pattern of NSFont*Attribute] are for working with NSFontDescriptor.

The original code was almost correct; just change the key name to NSFontAttributeName. As with other keys that can be used, the pattern is NS*AttributeName. And, for this particular key, you do in fact want to provide the actual font instance.
