Hi, straight question: how can I tranform a NSAttributedString in a Bezier path?
Best Regards

Build an NSLayoutManager that uses that attributed string, and use that to convert to a series of glyphs. Iterate through the glyphs, find the font for each, and ask that font for the outline. Append that outline to the bezier path (or, for multiple glyphs from the same font, use appendBezierPathWithGlyphs:inFont:), and advance based on an NSTypesetter.

Lots of little details to get just right for what seems at first glance to be a simple task...
