Panther is flipping my text


  • Subject: Panther is flipping my text

I need text as actual graphics and I have been getting them
by temporarily placing an NSTextView over my custom view with
the correct positioning and scaling and with

setDrawsBackground:

set to NO.

When the user is done entering text I get the Bezier paths by locking focus on the NSTextView and using

appendBezierPathWithGlyphs:

one glyph at a time. Since the NSTextView is flipped and my view isn't
I have to flip the path afterwards. Everything works fine... on 10.2.6

I just upgraded to Panther (I was in the middle of a big project and didn't
want to switch in the middle): 10.3.4 with all the upgrades at once.

Now my paths are all inverted about the text baseline.
I have a copy of 10.2.6 on an external drive and have verified that the same
executable does different things on the two OS's.

Does anyone know when and why this "feature" appeared and whether it
might go away ? I really not thrilled at having to have the executable ask
what version it is running under and then do different things depending on the answer.

Thanks,

Bob Clair
