Thanks, Kyle -- the problem is, I would have to construct a typingAttributes dictionary in code. I can't grab it from the text view because the text view returns nil. I prefer my workaround because it's simpler and it uses settings I've already selected in IB and shouldn't have to reproduce in code. (Although on the other hand, the behavior I observed isn't documented, so my workaround could conceivably break in a future release.)
Bear in mind that in my case the text view is plain text, so I don't have the problem of preserving typing attributes that the user created. Rather, I'm trying to get the text view to stick with the typing attributes that *I* created.
