- Thread-topic: Compressing glyphs programmatically
One of my big gripes with the Mac or iOS text system is the lack of a real
super/subscript attribute. I haven¹t tried doing custom attributes. Is it
possible to define and use custom super/subscript attributes which combine
the normal baseline shift attributes with NSExpansionAttributeName to get a
typographically correct super/subscript. Geesh! MS has always had this, at
least in Word, etc.
