hi there,

we'd like to mimic the look of the single-user startup in our application.
does anybody know which font is used there, and how to access it in a cocoa-app?

thanx in advance

Sounds like a horrible horrible thing to do. Perhaps you could explain why you want to?

Well, it's just an option in our app: Console mode, so to say. Go "old school".

Terminal.app uses Monaco Regular 10pt by default, but you can change it. The startup thing isn't any system font, it's bitmaps inside the kernel.

If you really want the bitmap, look inside mach_kernel around $002B8416 (10.2.6 binary)

Looks like 1bpp 8x16 bitmaps, horizontally flipped.
