Hi,
Using an NSAttributedString, with a fixed pitch font (Courier New,
Size 11.0) I am trying to display black stars and centre blocks to
simulate an iTunes style rating cell. This works okay, except for the
case where no stars are displayed and only 5 centre blocks are
displayed.
// Case 1 --> 3 stars with 2 blocks [OK]
stringWithFormat:@"%C%C%C%C%C",0x2605, 0x2605, 0x2605, 0x25aa, 0x25aa];
// Case 2 --> 0 stars with 5 blocks [FAILS , the blocks are not
displayed in fixed width, and are bunched up]
stringWithFormat:@"%C%C%C%C%C",0x25aa, 0x25aa, 0x25aa, 0x25aa, 0x25aa];
I am not sure why Case 2 fails. Can anybody shed some light on this? Thanks.
Regards,
Simon
