We need to get some rudimentary music graphics going and would like to use Sonata font (sensible enough, I should think). Before I go and create a custom scrolling object that allows PS font characters to be overlayed atop each other, has anyone created something like this they'd be willing to share? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric J.

I've created a custom view that scrolls, and based on my experience it SOUNDS like you're asking the wrong question. That is, you should be creating a subclass of view that displays Sonata characters as you please, and then put that view in a ClipView via the class's setDocView method. This gives you scrollbars and scrolling on your view for free. -william shipley next guru wanna-be PS: The view I scrolled displayed a dungeon. Yes, you guessed it, I'm writing a graphical nethack for the NeXT. See it Summer '90.
