Interesting. I wrote a quick app to show what value was returned by [[NSFont menuFontOfSize:0] pointSize]. Under 10.3.7, I got a value of 13.
I then took a screen shot of TextEdit's Format menu. Then, in TextEdit, I set the font to Lucida Grande 13pt and entered the text "Prevent Editing" and "Wrap to Page". Took a screenshot of the text.
Using Photoshop, I superimposed one screenshot over the other and sure enough, the 13pt text in the TextEdit documement was smaller.
Upping the text size in the doc to 14pt then yielded a perfect match when superimposing the resultant screenshots.
Looks like an off-by-one bug to me.
