Question

Is there an easy way to change the font size for a NSTableView ?

I’ve tried this”

 - (void)drawRect:(NSRect)r {

    [self setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:@"Verdana" size:7]];
    [self reloadData];
            [super drawRect:r];
 }

I’m sure drawRect is invoked but it doesn’t work

I’ve also tried this:

NSArray *columns = [self tableColumns];
        for (id column in columns) {
            id cell = [column dataCell];
            [cell setFont: [NSFont fontWithName: @"Geneva" size:22.0] ];
            //[column setDataCell:cell]; tried both with and without

        }
        [self reloadData];

before to print the table.
thanks

Create

IBOutlet NSTableColumn *mycolumn;  

For each column. then use dataCell: method which will returns the NSCell object then apply setFont: method on that object.

id cell = [mycolumn dataCell];
[cell setFont: [NSFont fontWithName: @"Geneva" size:51.0] ];
