Display NSAttributedString using CoreText

I think that the simplest way (using Core Text) is:

 // Create the CTLine with the attributed string
 CTLineRef line = CTLineCreateWithAttributedString(attrString); 

 // Set text position and draw the line into the graphics context called context
 CGContextSetTextPosition(context, x,  y);
 CTLineDraw(line, context);

 // Clean up
 CFRelease(line);

Using a Framesetter is more efficient IF you are drawing lots of text but this is the method recommended by Apple if you just need to display a small amount of text (like a label) and doesn't require you to create a path or frame (since it is done for you automatically by CTLineDraw).
