Alright, one more query, as long as I'm diving back into the cocoadev folder... :)

I've got a monospaced font. I need to calculate the 'width' of a given character, so that I can figure out certain things.

Not knowing what "certain things" need figuring out, I wonder if instead you might be able to exploit NSStrings sizeWithAttributes: method. sizeWithAttributes "returns the bounding box size the receiver occupies when drawn with the given attributes."

You can pass it a dictionary to specify the font and figure out the size a string will be drawn.
