NSMutableAttributedString - NSShadow without border

I tried NSMutableAttributedString

styling my font with this code:

NSMutableAttributedString* attString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:element04.text];
    NSRange range = NSMakeRange(0, [attString length]);

    [attString addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:element04.font range:range];
    [attString addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:element04.textColor range:range];

    NSShadow* shadow = [[NSShadow alloc] init];
    shadow.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:30/255 green:11/255 blue:0/255 alpha:1];
    shadow.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(2.0f, 2.0f);
    [attString addAttribute:NSShadowAttributeName value:shadow range:range];

    [attString addAttribute:NSStrokeColorAttributeName value:[UIColor colorWithRed:30/255 green:11/255 blue:0/255 alpha:1] range:range];
    [attString addAttribute:NSStrokeWidthAttributeName value:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:-2.0] range:range];

    element04.attributedText = attString;

The problem is there is a border in the shadow. How do I add a border to text with a shadow that has no border?

This is certainly not what I expected. I suggest that you post a bug report with Apple, although I suspect you will be told that this behavior is intentional. What happens is that the bump fades its own shadow - and the weird part is that it casts it over the fill as if the layer order were:

  • Stroke
  • Shadow
  • Fill (foreground color)

You can make it much less annoying (and even quite enjoyable) by adding a little shadowBlurRadius

. In the image below, I pretty much used your code, but added:



shadow.shadowBlurRadius = 3;
