Custom line breaking in NSTextView

(I seem to remember that this has been discussed before, a couple of
years ago, but without a satisfactory solution; and I can't find the
thread in the archives right now.)


I would like to customize the line breaking in an NSTextView in such a
way that it doesn't wrap at the window width, but after a certain number
of characters, say 72.  Any suggestions how to go about this?

I suspect that one solution might be to sub-class NSATSTypesetter and
override

   layoutGlyphsInLayoutManager:
      startingAtGlyphIndex:
      maxNumberOfLineFragments:
      nextGlyphIndex:

but that seems like a lot of work to me (if I can figure out at all what
exactly I have to do in my overridden method).

Any pointers (especially at sample code) would be much appreciated.
