Sorry, it does not works completely.
With any font :(
It seems that some fonts just do not work.

Hi Dany,
I'm not sure what's wrong but, for what its worth, I use:
NSFont * aFont = [NSFont fontWithName: @"Cochin" size: 10.0];
aFont = [fontManager convertFont: aFont
toHaveTrait: NSBoldFontMask];
Cheers,
Steve
