haha. i just tried going back to:
NSLog(@"%@", myattributedstring);
... and it did **not** throw an exception. instead it looked like the
same output as:
NSLog(@"%@", [myattributedstring description]);
... which is:
2007-07-20 16:24:12.711 testapp[707] ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP{
NSColor = NSCalibratedRGBColorSpace 1 0 0 1;
NSFont = "Times-Roman 14.00 pt. P [] (0x003a4fd0) fobj=0x003a4990,
spc=3.50";
}
weird. not sure what's up with that.

to clarify...
before, i was doing:
NSLog(@"%@", myattributedstring);
... which was throwing an exception.
then i changed it to:
NSLog(@"%@", [myattributedstring string]);
... which runs and prints the string, but not with attributes.

Except the OP makes it seem like this was throwing an exception. :|
From the exception, it appears that they were trying to pass the
NSAttributedString as the *first* parameter of NSLog(), which, of
course, must be an NSString.
