Hi Simon ;)
I recall hearing that one of the cocoa apis was documented as being able
to do the ellipsis thing (it was on this list months ago), but that it
wasn't implemented in 10.1.
NSLayoutManager is the class I would look at to try to figure a solution
that's aware of things like ligatures and figure out how wide strings
are. However, I don't think it has a function built in that will do what
you ask.
