[MacRuby-devel] CATextLayer.font

[Eloy Durán]

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
