Name

NSGlyphInfo — Mac OS X 10.2

Synopsis

This class is used in attributed strings as a value for the attribute NSGlyphInfoAttributeName. Glyph info objects are used to specify a mapping between a Unicode character code and a glyph ID, thus permitting clients to override the default glyph used by a font to represent some Unicode character.
