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.
