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.
