Hi,
Well, one of my other posts had some code in it that I distilled down
and just plopped into a brand new app to avoid any potential side-
effects. If you look back at that, you'll see that I just set up a
font and and set the attributes dictionary and call
sizeWithAttributes only to be greeted with height of 18. Very odd.
It's just wrong from the looks of things.
After spending much too long on this, I gave up and switched to
HITheme text measurement and rendering for now because we are running
out of time for what we're working on. Ideally I wouldn't do that,
but otoh, they're simple, fast, and seem to be reporting the truth.
I'll likely write a bug against sizeWithAttributes unless someone can
see something I'm missing or some other setting someplace I need to set.

This time, it's not so cool. In theory I should be getting a
height of about 13 or 14. This is causing me to position my text
(in this specific case) 4 pixels off from where it should be. The
font reports the line height to be 14 for the 12 point text, btw,
which sounds right. Yet sizeWithAttributes reports 18.
Ed,
I know you're a guru, so I doubt you'd make this mistake, but
since this goes into the archives and someone might google for a
similar problem:
Have you tried commenting out the 16pt code to check whether it
works then? Just to make sure you're not accidentally passing in
the wrong attributes dictionary twice without noticing, or
overwriting/replacing something.
Cheers,
