Re: fonts displaying strangely

[Eric Wasylishen]

Hi Sebastian,.
I see something similar if I increase the UI scale factor with GSScaleFactor, 
except text has gaps in it instead of being bunched together.

I tracked that problem to the method -[NSLayoutManager 
drawGlyphsForGlyphRange:atPoint:] which is hard to understand and seems to be 
buggy.  I started a rewrite of that method a while ago but never finished it. 
If you want, you could try applying the attached patch and see if it fixes your 
problem.

The patch fixes the spacing problems I observed, but it is incomplete; it may 
not properly change styles when drawing an attributed string (and it's also 
slow) - so it's not ready to apply.
