Sorry, my fault. I change a sentence I wrote around, but didn't adjust the words. What I wanted to say was, NSTextView (and the abstract class NSText) both support setFont: in GNustep. For the class NSTextStorage this method is only provided as a scripting extension and currently GNUstep doesn't provide most of these extensions.

There wont be a problem to include this method if you really need it an provide an implementation. OK, this is really easy, here is one (code stolen from NSTextView), but why would we want it?

- (void) setFont: (NSFont *)font
{
  if (!font)
    return;

  [self addAttribute: NSFontAttributeName
    value: font
    range: NSMakeRange(0, [self length])];
}

As soon as you provide a good reason for it, I will add this method to a scripting category on NSTextStorage.

I changed the code in FTP now, but the code I had was working fine under mac 10.3.

NSTextView inherits from NSText on the mac, which has setFont.

This method is one of the scripting methods of that class and currently GNustep does not plan to implement those methods.
You may go ahead to implement it yourself if you want to, though.

Why is FTP using this method at all and when did you start to do so? There should be better ways to achive the same result.

You second posting looks like you are mistaking NSTextView for NSTextStorage, the later has a setFont: method.

this is a class not existent on OpenStep, so it is more a Feature request.
Interestingly though NSTextView is a subclass of NSText, which had setFont even in OpenStep times and has it in GNUstep. So this exception is weird.
