Great! I had this exact problem when trying the art backend (it didn't have the 
same
fonts I used with xlib, and xlib didn't have the fonts I was using with art
when I went back to xlib).

One step further would be, if NSBoldFont is not defined, to take a heavier 
version
of NSFont, (similarly for NSUserFixedPitchFont). This way, by changing only one 
default
value one could change all fonts.
All this supposing that font trait changing works in NSFontManager.
