So the response is correct, the key doesn't exist.</div><div>The defaults keys you provided also do not exist by default on my system.</div>But a font descriptor would return a user preference or a system default.<div class="">There's not a great solution you're right.</div><div class="">Core Text and AppKit are both kind of vague.</div><div class="">The solution there seems to be to start with a font and apply the fixed width trait to get a descriptor for a font that comes close to matching somehow (who knows how? personal taste?) or present a UI and let a user select something.
