I would give the table NSAttributedStrings with an adjusted baseline
(NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName).
Should be easier than subclassing.

Thanks Ryan for the pointers.
I had this nervous feeling that the answer might come back as
"subclass and
override", always a terrifying notion for a learner cocoahead / obj-
cite.
Presumably I need to understand in more detail how this
drawInteriorWithFrame:inView: method works in order to be able to
override
it. Any tips on where to start with this would be very welcome!
Thanks,
Adam.

There is no way to adjust the vertical alignment without subclassing
something or getting into the ATSUI stuff. Subclassing
NSTextFieldCell and overriding drawInteriorWithFrame:inView: to use
an adjusted frame would be the easiest I think. The ATSUI stuff will
give you far more control, but it gets to be very complex to
implement anything even resembling the existing text field classes.

I have an NSTableView that for one of its NSTableColumn's I have

purpose is to
be able to change the font size just for that column of the table.
Here's my code:
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
NSTextFieldCell *cell;
cell = [[NSTextFieldCell alloc] init];
[cell setAlignment:NSCenterTextAlignment];
[cell setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:@"Lucida Grande" size:20.0]];
NSTableColumn *desiredColumn = [myTableView
tableColumnWithIdentifier:@"3"];
[desiredColumn setDataCell:cell];
[cell release];
}
This works as I would expect... to a point. The problem I have is
that as I
use a larger font size, the text drops vertically in the cell so
that it
clips at the bottom whilst there is still plenty of space between
the top of
the text and the ceiling of the cell.
Is there any way I can vertically align my text?
Cheers...
Adam.
