There is no Ruby workaround. What I currently do is I have a workaround subclass of CATextLayer that takes an explicit type instead of NSCFType and subclass/use that from MacRuby. % cat CALayerWorkarounds.h #import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h> #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> @interface WorkaroundTextLayer : CATextLayer - (void)setFontObject:(NSFont *)font; @end % cat CALayerWorkarounds.m #import "CALayerWorkarounds.h" @implementation WorkaroundTextLayer -(void)setFontObject:(NSFont *)font { self.font = font; } @end Met vriendelijke groet, Eloy Durán On Mar 23, 2011, at 4:20 AM, Matt Aimonetti wrote:
The work around would be to create a pointer:
irb(main):005:0> font = NSFont.systemFontOfSize(NSFont.systemFontSize) => #<NSFont:0x200b25300> irb(main):006:0> layer = CATextLayer.new => #<CATextLayer:0x200b22f80> irb(main):007:0> layer.font = font TypeError: expected instance of Pointer, got `#<NSFont:0x200b25300>' (NSFont) Instead of setting the font directly try something like that:
font_pointer = Pointer.new("@") font_pointer[0] = font layer.font = font_pointer
I'm not in front of a computer so I can't test but I'd be curious to know if that works for you.

I'm having trouble trying to set the font property on a CATextLayer using the latest version of macruby.
I've noticed that there is already a ticket for an issue when trying to set the font using a NSFont instance (http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/1114).
I tried using CGFontCreateWithFontName('Georgia') to create the font reference, with similar results (expected instance of Pointer, got `#<__NSCFType:). CTFontCreateWithName didn't work either.
Does anyone here have an ideas/suggestions for workarounds? The rest of the CATextLayer properties seem to work fine, it's just font that causes errors.
