I know this might seem like a weird idea, but I need to figure out the size (width and height) of an NSAttributedString that I am drawing... basically I need to know it because I am drawing it inside a larger image and I need to position it... however the string can be of any font/size/length... is there a way to do this?? I'm guessing the height would probably be the font's point? (i.e. font size 24 would result in a height of 24pt?) how about the width? any way to find that out before drawing it? (or even after drawing it to an intermediate image if I really need to?)

From "NSAttributedString Application Kit Additions Reference":

	size
	Returns the bounding box of the marks that the receiver draws.

	- (NSSize)size

Works for me, at least in recent OS incarnations.
