I'm quite familiar with [NSString substringWithRange]. That's not
what I'm asking. I want some truncation methods that:
i) can truncate based on measure string width, rather than number
of characters.
ii) are international-friendly (e.g. won't truncate in the middle
of a required ligature, and will insert an appropriate ellipsis).

What about substringWithRange and what about reading the NSString docs
first before asking on this list?
substringWithRange:
- (NSString *)substringWithRange:(NSRange)aRange
Returns a string object containing the characters of the receiver that
lie within aRange. Raises an NSRangeException if any part of aRange lies
beyond the end of the receiver.
See Also: - substringFromIndex:, - substringToIndex:
Thanks,

How do I truncate an NSString in an international-friendly way?
I want something like the QuickDraw TruncString(), which takes
a param to truncate in the middle, or at the start or end.
In Appearance.h there is TruncateThemeText(), but that might
assume a QuickDraw drawing environment.
