Please excuse my naive question. I have done very little work with
displaying characters.
My application is having a problem on different machines with the
height and width of a block of monospace text in a NSTextView subclass.
Apparently on some machines the spacing for a particular font (Courier
Regular) is slightly wider and on some machines it is slightly taller.
I am sorry, I am not a "font" guy I probably don't even have the
correct terms. I think this is known as the leading and kerning.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction on which method allows me
to check and set the spacing between characters in a monospace font and
the spacing between lines.
Sorry for my stunning lack of knowledge about these issues.
Tom Gray
