CoreTextArc illustrates the integration and best-practices of CoreText within a Carbon application. The application will draw text along a curve using CoreText API, and integrate with the font panel, an edit text control, and checkboxes to allow user control. The main concepts illustrated in this documentation are text drawing, font creation, string content creation, font panel integration, font capability reporting, font conversion, and metrics access using appropriate CoreText and related API. This sample comes packaged as a single Xcode project (CoreTextArc.xcodeproj) with a single target (CoreTextArc).\
\
CoreTextArc:\
This target contains the sample application and will build all associated sources and resources as a universal binary.\
