What about the above part of my original question? This is a serious issue, because it basically means that the text appears in a different place under iOS 5 vs. iOS 6. You can easily see this by making a simple CATextLayer in a project whose base SDK is iOS 6 but whose deployment target is iOS 5. Run in the Simulator using an iOS 6 destination and then using an iOS 5 destination and you will see that the text has moved significantly. So using CATextLayer in a backward-compatible project is going to be a massive headache. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, http://www.apeth.net/matt/ pantes anthropoi tou eidenai oregontai phusei Programming iOS 5! http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920023562.do RubyFrontier! http://www.apeth.com/RubyFrontierDocs/default.html TidBITS, Mac news and reviews since 1990, http://www.tidbits.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
