Re: CTFrame and drawing text + layers.

You could try overriding the -preferredFrameSize method to something 
like this:

- (CGSize)preferredFrameSize
{
  CGSize sz = CGSizeApplyAffineTransform ([self bounds].size, [self 
affineTransform]);
  sz.width = ceil (sz.width); sz.height = ceil (sz.height);
  return sz;
}

this will tell the layout manager that the text layer's ideal size is 
its current size. It may still get resized depending on how the 
parent's layout manager has been configured,
