First, perhaps you just want to use a fixed-width font instead of setting a fixed width on a non-fixed-width font.

Anyway, I think you use the font attribute NSFontFixedAdvanceAttribute.  So, you either construct a NSFontDescriptor from scratch and include that attribute, or you start from an NSFont, get its fontDescriptor, and then use -fontDescriptorByAddingAttributes: to create a new font descriptor with that attribute.  Then, you use +[NSFont fontWithDescriptor:size:] to get an NSFont and set it on the attributed string with NSFontAttributeName.

Regards,
Ken
