and look for the NSGlyphInscription inscribeBuffer and the charIndexBuffer. This method has some undocumented other variables.... I must ask this :) What are elasticBits ?

This is simply a means for getting glyphs and associated attributes in bulk. The glyph inscriptions here are equivalent to those that would be returned by calling intAttribute:NSGlyphAttributeInscribe forGlyphAtIndex: individually, and the elastic bits are equivalent to the results of calling intAttribute:NSGlyphAttributeElastic forGlyphAtIndex: individually. The bulk method is designed for efficient retrieval of many glyphs and their attributes at once, primarily by NSTypesetter.
