I've decided not to use this in my app and try something else to make annotations in my textView. Thanks all for the input though.

That is, let your model objects handle the translation, and let the view objects do what view objects are supposed to do. Trying to fiddle around with low-level NSTextStorage just seems to be a way to waste several afternoons pulling out your hair in frustration, methinks!

It's far better to actually understand and and use the text system (including glyph generation) rather than "fake it" by transforming the model on read/write and ensuring your transformations are perfect mirrors, are applied at the right times, and correctly interact with the pasteboard, undo manager, Services, Input Methods, and VoiceOver.
