Make sure you are using the symbol and/or wingdings part of unicode, not the 8-bit character you are used to.

Thanks,

PS look at www.unicode.com for more info and also the archives, I helped someone before on this list or on the carbon list, I forgot which.

Hello:

I can't seem to get any of the fonts that display symbols (i.e. Wingdings, Webdings, Monotype Sorts, Zapf Dingbats) to work. There are some symbols that would be useful that I'd like to use in an NSView. I'm using an NSMutableAttributedString and it's drawAtPoint: method to draw text to the view, but anything drawn is not in a symbol font; It's in a regular alpha-numerical font. I've also noticed that TextEdit can't display these fonts either. Is it possible to use these fonts somehow?

Also, is it possible to draw text upside-down in an NSView?

Thanks,
Chaz McGarvey
