Haha - unfortunately it is nowhere near as impressive as that!

It causes text (on Windows) to be rendered as a path internally, and 
then painted to the target - this means that it doesn't suffer the 
'changing metrics' problem. It is actually what 'formatForPrinting' now 
sits on (on Windows) - meaning you can actually show a nice accurate 
print preview of layout of a stack without the drawbacks of that mode 
which used to exist (many versions ago).

Of course, I think I just noticed it never made it into the 
dictionary...

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
