No, nothing crashed. In fact,

>>>

   [font1 set];
<<<

seems to be a no-op. I used

>>>

   [@"Sample" drawAtPoint:aPoint withAttributes:nil];        
<<<

Now, I tried adding a dictionary using withAttributes: and define its
properties using

>>>

   drawDict2 = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:font2 
forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
<<<

which immediately succeeded. Not sure, but this feels like a bug. I 
really wonder,
why accessing font metrics worked, while drawing the font failed....

Anyway, I managed to make it work.
