When an image is focused, and you draw text, it'll definitely do
wonky things if the currently focused view is flipped. If we can't
use these methods, are we really supposed to drop down to
NSLayoutManager etc etc to draw a simple string? Is there really no
secret API for image-friendly string drawing? Just want to double
check before I have to go invent one...
Not quite sure what is the problem you're having here, Seth.
Create your NSImage. lockFocus on the image. Draw into the image.
i have two apps that draw into images using drawAtPoint, and I don't see
any problems relating to views . . .
