How do I get an NSFont object from a CGFont or CTFont object?

Question

I am dealing with loading a TTF from Resource only. This question helped me answer part 1. But now I need a NSFont from a CGFont or CTFont.

This is for a Mac only application.

Use CTFontCreateWithGraphicsFont.

Do nothing. You already have one. NSFont and CTFont are toll-free bridged, so a CTFont is an NSFont and vice versa.

I thought toll-free bridged means only you can send messages of the other class to each other. Now I assume it also means you can use it directly as a substitute in place of the other. – Rajavanya Subramaniyan Feb 10 '11 at 05:40
Too bad Xcode still doesn't hint at this very well. If at all. – uchuugaka Apr 26 '16 at 12:18
