Yea, its not documented, and its probably more of a quirk of the font rendering than anything else. It works today, and primarily I offer the solution because if it stops working in the future, the worst that will happen is you will get text that doesn't use sub- pixel antialiasing.

If you want true control over this, then I would recommend you both file a feature enhancement.

Hm; if it stops working, then we'd definitely see quirks. We draw text with a raw NSLayoutManager setup in some cases and then overlay a NSTextView atop it when editing -- the transition between the two antialiasing modes would be pretty obvious. I'll write up a feature request. Thanks again!
