Thanks for replying Rosyna, I've just found the problem, but I thought I'd reply just in case someone else had the problem


I'm doing the ATSUI drawing within the drawRect: of my custom NSView, I'm getting the context with


NSGraphicsContext * currentContext = [NSGraphicsContext currentContext];
CGContextRef myContext = [currentContext graphicsPort];



But I was caching the context, which is a bad idea, as it goes out of date, make sure you set the context every time you draw.

How are you drawing the ATSUI text? Are you drawing it into the CGContextRef that represents the NSView?

I'm using ATSUI to draw text to an NSView, and it works great, apart from one problem....

When I try to 'grab' an image of the NSView using

NSData * dat = [myView dataWithPDFInsideRect:NSMakeRect (0,0,500,500)];
[dat writeToFile:@"/Users/me/Desktop/test.pdf" atomically:YES];



I get a PDF with everything on it, apart from the text drawn with ATSUI. This worked fine when I used NSAttributedString for my text, but it was too slow (and a few other issues), so I had to go to ATSUI.


How can I get the ATSUI text included in the image? As I am trying to create a thumbnail of my NSView, it looks a bit silly that none of the text is included.

Thanks for any suggestions.
