Guys, thanks for the replies. I did find the trails in the sand code using google, but as that was doing pretty much the same thing as the example in the Apple docs I didn't try it verbatim. I should have as the reason the Apple code wasn't working was because the iPhone doesn't have the font they were using ("Times-Bold") - change it to helvetica and my code just worked. How frustrating! SelectFont doesn't have a return status to tell you it can't find the find nor does it crap out...

I'll try the UILabel thing a go as well, it could be friendlier to use than Quartz text.

Cheers,
Bas.
