Finally sitting at my home computer, this is the code I used (feel free to copy :-)). Right now I've commented out the bolded font, but you can see easily how to make that switch.

Umm, this has been answered a couple of times already...

//used to display groups in bold
- (void)tableView:(NSTableView*)sender willDisplayCell:(NSCell*)cell forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn*)column row:(int)row {
NSColor *txtColor = [NSColor blueColor];
NSFont *txtFont = [NSFont /*boldS*/systemFontOfSize:13];
NSDictionary *txtDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:txtFont,
NSFontAttributeName, txtColor, NSForegroundColorAttributeName, nil];
NSString *string = [self tableView:sender objectValueForTableColumn:column row:row];
NSAttributedString *attrStr = [ [ [NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:string attributes:txtDict] autorelease];
[cell setAttributedStringValue:attrStr];

... and this, as Ondra appears to have mentioned back in April, is not the best way to achieve the desired result.

You don't have to create your own attributed string, you can leave it up to the cell, as per my example May 26:

- (void)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView
willDisplayCell:(id)cell
forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:(int)row
{
if (<test>) {
[cell setTextColor:[NSColor redColor]];
}
// strictly should also have:
else {
[cell setTextColor:[NSColor blackColor]];
}
}
