- Thread-topic: Troubles with Bold and Italic fonts - Cocoa
Hello Jens.
The documentation says Weight parameter is ignored when I use NSBoldFontMask.
Changing the weight will not affect the result - I tried it.
As for render - we have a part of code that generates bitmap from it and we draw it using OpenGL. I am not really familiar with this part of code.
I do not think it is related, since, as I said some fonts do work, so it is not render problem.
Thanks, anyway.

I haven't used that NSFontManager method before. My guess is that by specifying an explicit weight you've overridden the bold mask (although that's not quite what the docs say.)
How are you rendering the text?
