How would I do this?
An NSTextView has an NSTextStorage, and an NSTextStorage *is* an
NSAttributedString. Example:
[textview setString: @"Hello, world!"];
[[textview textStorage]
applyFontTraits: NSBoldFontMask range: NSMakeRange(7,5)];
On the other hand note that if *all* you want to do is change font traits,
that's a font matter, not an attributed-string matter, so you can do that
directly, because an NSTextView is an NSText:
[textview setString: @"Hello, world!"];
[textview setFont:
[[NSFontManager sharedFontManager] convertFont: [textview font]
toHaveTrait: NSBoldFontMask]
range: NSMakeRange(7,5)];
Take your pick. m.
