I was wondering if there was any way I could use different font
styles besides Bold and Italic. What I am wanting right now is
some kind of Shadow style, Outline style, Strikethrough style.
Eventually I would like to use all the styles in Word X (Double
Strikethrough style, etc.) Is this possible?
You can find the standard text attributes in NSAttributedString.h, in
AppKit (not the one in Foundation, the AppKit adds all the interesting
attributes on top of Foundation's implementation). The font is one
attribute, and things like bold, italic, etc. are considered attributes
of the font, so you may also want to look in NSFont.h and
NSFontManager.h. There are also paragraph styles, see
NSParagraphStyle.h. There is doc for all of these classes on your
machine and on the web.
No attempt has been made to match Word's feature set. There are some
attributes you will not find a match for, going in both directions, I
think. If you really want to implement styles yourself, it can be done
(in some cases, anyway) with some precise subclassing of the text
system, but this is extremely advanced stuff. I would recommend working
with the existing styles for now.
