Hi David,

The trick - or at least it used to be the trick under NeXTStep/OpenStep, I haven't tried it lately - is to use zero for the size.

font = [NSFont userFixedPitchFontOfSize:0.0];

That will give you the default font in the default size.

Hope this helps,
--Greg

I'm reposting this hopefully to actually get a response this time around...

I'm creating YALA [yet another logging application] and want to save/restore
the font the user selects for the logged text.

These two methods seem ideal [ie, setUserFixedPitchFont: saves both the font
name and the font size to my applications 'defaults' file].

However, userFontOfSize: has the following interface:

+ (NSFont *)userFixedPitchFontOfSize:(float)fontSize

So, to 'load' the default font, I need to give it some information that it
has already stored.

Could someone who knows explain how I'm supposed to use this API?

Am I supposed to save the font size myself in a separate defaults value?
Am I supposed to read the key that setUserFixedPitchFont: saved and pass it
to this method?
Something behind door number 3?

Later,
