The problem is that there seems to be no straightforward way to go
about
doing this. The only way I can figure is to get an NSFontDescriptor,
pull
the size out of that, change it, and then recreate a new font using the
different size. It all seems seriously inefficient and complicated,
and I
know that most things done with Cocoa aren't like that, so I assume I'm
missing something.
You could say [myFont fontName] to get the font's name, and hold on to
that NSString instead of holding on to the NSFont itself. Then, when
you need to render, you can just use [NSFont fontWithName:myFontName
size:whateverSizeYouNeedAtTheMoment]; . I've been doing things this way
and AFAICS it works fine.
