Hello Benjamin,

I don't know whether your question depends on Tiger or Leopard, but using only addFontTrait: works fine on Tiger.

It seems that on Leopard you have to use addFontTrait: and removeFontTrait: instead, depending on whether you want to add or remove a trait like bold or italic.

Regards,

    Daniel

Sorry for the repeat post, but I'm still stuck with this. If necessary I can
attach an example. Thanks,

Hello list,


I have an instance of WebView instantiated in interface builder.

I have a button in the same window which should turn the bold font trait
off,


just like the default menu item does.


The menu item is the default from the IB text menu pane, and works as it
should. It has a tag which is set to: 2.


It sends a message to the font manager which is the action/method
addFontTrait:,

it sends itself as an argument and the font manager looks at the tag

of the sender and bold is toggled as it should.


Now I want the same with a button I have in the same window as the webview.

I have code like the following, which should only turn it off:

(PS: This is RubyCocoa, if needed I will supply the objc equivalent)


def turnBoldOff

  OSX::NSFontManager.sharedFontManager.addFontTrait(self)

end


def tag

  # also tried: OSX::NSUnboldFontMask

  2

end


Afaik, this should do the same as the menu item. But unfortunately it

doesn't work.

The font doesn't change and the menu item doesn't update, which is

obvious because the font hasn't really been updated....


Any clues or pointers to documents on how to do this?
