There is a kerning problem with the Rb editField control...

Thanks that you brought up this, I have the same problem. As editfield is the most important control, this is a serious bug, must be solved for 4.5! It does not look professional. I will realbug it now.

Happens with every font, but only in EditFields (multiline/styled as well as other). No problem with StaticText, Popups, Listboxes or other controls, Graphics.DrawString and so on. But the inline editable cell of a listbox has bad kerning, too.

I have done some others tests and it appears that it happens in Lucida Grande bold but not in Lucida Grande regular... and similarly it happens in Helvetica regular but not in Helvetica bold. Very strange...

But I have another problem when I use drawString
method inside a canvas : I have no coregraphics antialiasing ( I have
believed until now that drawString support Quartz antialiasing).

Does that mean you don't have antialising at all or just QuickDraw antialising?

Just QuickDraw antialiasing.
