Use a cell to draw your text and call -setBackgroundStyle: on it with

Are you sure? This gets awfully close, unless I'm missing the point
here (the font to use your choice):
+ (NSDictionary*) defaultTitleAttributes
{
// return the dictionary used to
Yes, I'm sure. :-) You won't get the subpixel font smoothing right, if
nothing else.
Also, the other method tracks whatever the current human interface design is
for text on a raised surface.

Are you saying that using a shadow attribute turns off or interferes
with subpixel font smoothing? That seems a bit strange.

It seems like the best solution would be to handle both the Leopard+
and pre-Leopard cases at runtime so any changes to HID over time are
non-issues since you've limited the custom code to the pre-Leopard
case. You might be able to get away with as little as adding a
category to NSCell
Hi,
Just take a look at any toolbar text in Leopard. It has a subtle, white shadow.
How can I get this very same effect in my own app when using NSString's
drawInRect method? What attributes to use? Do you have any sample code?
Thanks, U.
Use a cell to draw your text and call -setBackgroundStyle: on it with
the parameter NSBackgroundStyleRaised. That'll apply the exact same
shadow that's used on toolbar item labels. Keep in mind that this
method is Leopard-only.

the net effect of making the letters look thinner.

Is there no way to do it without a cell? I ask because I'm writing
my own custom view and need to be able to do this with NSString's
drawInRect, using a correct font attribute. The other poster's
