------- Additional Comments From sullivan at apple.com  2005-12-20 13:33 -------
Using my reduction, in -[WebTextRendererFactory fontWithFamilies:traits:size:], the NSFont that's 
returned is:

"Arial-BoldMS 16.00 pt. P [] (0x22c9ef40) fobj=0x222d6580, spc=4.45"

However, [[NSFontManager sharedFontManager] traitsOfFont:font] returns 0.

So this font is visually bold, and its name includes "Bold" (so it's obviously supposed to be bold), but 
NSFontManager doesn't think it's bold. That's why it's getting the syntheticBold bit applied and 
appearing doubly bold.

Maybe this particular font is bad on my machine somehow. I don't know where it came from (installing 
some Microsoft product, presumably). I'll test what happens on my PowerBook in this same code.
