Copied the TrueType font from Instruments into my project, added the necessary key to my Info.plist, set the font using [NSFont fontWithName:...], and hey presto, there the font is in my app. Only... it doesn't look as nice. It's less crisp. Kind of fuzzy. The corners don't look sharp.

Is the point size the same? If this is a special-purpose font, it might have some hinting for the specific point size used in Instruments. You might need to compare the character heights up-close with Pixie or something.
