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?
To me it seems that only ATSUI has the ability to synthesize bold or
italic for fonts where a drawn version doesn't exist. Although with
Panther, AppKit did get the ability to sheer the fonts using
NSObliquenessAttributeName (with which you can then synthesize your own
italic).
If you enable anti alias for the Terminal you should be able to see
that the same glyph (letter) can be rendered differently (depending on
position), which should not happen with text drawn by Cocoa
(NSLayoutManager) -- this is because ATSUI uses the fractional glyph
dimensions (and thus rely heavily on sub-pixel rendering), where
NSLayoutManager rounds them to integral values -- I take this to imply,
that Terminal is in fact using ATSUI to layout (and render) the text,
and not NSLayoutManager.
