O.K., that all makes sense.

No easy way to fix that then - aside from maybe laying out all the glyphs
explicity (i.e. make them batches of size 1) which should fix it ?

I just tried this:

[attrDict setObject:[[NSFont systemFontOfSize:10.0] printerFont]
                        forKey:NSFontAttributeName];

which should force the use of a printer font surely ? But I got the same
result, and printing out the addresses it looks like sending
'printerFont' to that object returns the same object.

so now I am puzzled...

-bat.
