I found this old thread:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Cocoa-dev/2007/Jan/msg00181.html
which discusses the same problem I am experiencing. I need an italic
version of Lucida Grande, which is the font currently returned by
labelFontOfSize.
But, of course, I need a generic solution since labelFontOfSize may
not always return Lucida Grande. Now, I could select a font like
Helvetica Neue which has all of the various traits I need, but I
would rather use the font returned by labelFontOfSize since I am
drawing a label.
The solution proposed in the thread was to just add
NSObliquenessAttributeName, which is easy enough, but I am not sure
what the appropriate angle should be.
Is there a standard angle which should be used in this situation?
Well, actually, considering that using NSObliquenessAttributeName
caused the text to look blury, I switched to userFontOfSize which
provides a font with a clean italic version.
If anyone has a better solution, I would be interested.
I filed bug report rdar://6715356 requesting that labelFontOfSize
return a font with a clean italic and bold-italic variant and suggest
others do the same if they want this as well.
