Haha - unfortunately it is nowhere near as impressive as that!
It causes text (on Windows) to be rendered as a path internally, and
then painted to the target - this means that it doesn't suffer the
'changing metrics' problem. It is actually what 'formatForPrinting' now
sits on (on Windows) - meaning you can actually show a nice accurate
print preview of layout of a stack without the drawbacks of that mode
which used to exist (many versions ago).
Of course, I think I just noticed it never made it into the
dictionary...
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
