Fonts

Hello,

I am trying to increase the weighting of the "userFixedPitchFontOfSize":

NSFont* font = [NSFont userFixedPitchFontOfSize:10.0];
NSFont* test = [[NSFontManager sharedManager] convertFont:font
toHaveTrait:NSBoldFontMask];

if ( test == font ) NSLog(@"font manager was unable to convert font to
have bold");

NSFont* test2 = [[NSFontManager sharedManager] convertWeight:YES
ofFont:font];

if ( test2 == font ) NSLog(@"font manager was unable to increase weight
of the font");


If I run the following code, both log messages are shown.

Ok so this may sound reasonable-- maybe Monaco just doesn't have the
ability to
display bold or weighted characters? Wrong-- my terminal is set to use
Monaco 10pt and it shows Monaco in bold all the time. What am I doing
wrong?

Thanks,
Rick Bischoff
