Hello, I've got an app "Truth Tables" which does parsing and highlighting
of an expression.
I use a custom subclass of NSTextField in a toolbar.. it's worked fine
until the system font changed I think, but I'm not 100% sure because I've
only noticed the problem recently.
Here is the font code which triggers the issue (the commented out line is
the one that causes odd alignment behaviour):
// For some reason, when using this font, the vertical alignment becomes
odd.
//NSFont * identifierFont = [[NSFontManager sharedFontManager]
convertFont:self.font toHaveTrait:NSBoldFontMask];
NSFont * identifierFont = self.font;
There is a full source code listing here:

When using self.font, everything is fine. But when using the bold variant,
the alignment is a bit off.
I've made a video demonstrating the issue because it's hard to describe:

Wondering if anyone has any idea what's going on here? Or where to start
trying to figure out?
Kind regards,
Samuel
