Check out the results of this code fragment:

   NSFont *font = [NSFont fontWithName:@"Monaco" size:12.0];
   NSLog(@"%@ is fixed pitch? %d", font, [font isFixedPitch]);
   font = [NSFont fontWithName:@"Courier" size:12.0];
   NSLog(@"%@ is fixed pitch? %d", font, [font isFixedPitch]);

Not fixed pitch?  What's going on?  I'm pretty sure this call used to
work, maybe pre-Panther.  Maybe it's the mysterious "NSCGSFont" that is
the actual runtime class of the NSFont created.  Any explanations?
