I searched the archives for this question, but was unable to find any specific solution, so I thought I would come out and ask it. How can NSAttributedString be saved/converted in the User Defaults (ie. Preferences)? Is there a way to convert NSAttributedString (ie. text containing fonts, font size, colors and other text attributes) into a NSString, and then saved into a NSAttributedString? And then later be able to read it out of the applications user defaults back into a NSAttributedString with the font information restored? Obviously, one of the best way would be some function that converts NSAttributedString directly into a NSString, with embeded tags (ex. HTML?), while having another function that converts that resulting string back into an attributed string. I can not find anything from Apple for this simple operation. I am mostly concerned with font name, font size, font styles, colors and other attributes. Pictures and URLs would not need to be converted or saved. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
