Well,
I do understand your problem, but don't think that this is the right solution. Why should a chat client know anything about a font which displays the text? I would rather see an iChat solution or anything like Fire, ICQ and others have....
Simply let the user choose font for displaying text or use a default one..

HTH

Hi!

I'm trying to brigde a REALbasic (so carbon) chat application with my cocoa chat client. the problem is that a font in carbon has a different name than in cocoa. what I mean is that in cocoa everything is splitted into font/family/etc. (and bold/italic etc) but in carbon it's just "Copperplate" and "Copperplate Light". So when a message from the carbon app arrives with the font name "Copperplate Light" my cocoa client won't handle it because there's no font exactly named "Copperplate Light" than rather a font object "Copperplate" with family/style or whatever called "Light". Is there some sort of converter for such things? Like a method which returns an NSFont object?


Cheers, Thilo
