That article doesn't say which fonts have bold and italic variants. Do any of the free fonts mentioned have bold/italic? On my system I have 4 mono-spaced fonts; only Courier and Courier New have bold/italic variants. Andale Mono and Monoco are without variants. --ErikN

TM 2.0 uses CoreText which doesn’t synthesize bold and italic when the

So you need to pick a font with a bold and italic variant for the theme
styles to work. I have no plans of trying to synthesize these styles myself (not really feasible) and Apple seems content with not having CoreText do it (like the deprecated ATSUI did).
Can't say I blame you, but... Ick. Okay, anyone have a version of
Andale Mono with bold and italic variants? Or have a program that will synthesize such for me?
No, no synthesizer, but here is a nice list of monospaced fonts: http://hivelogic.com/articles/top-10-programming-fonts/
OS X (since 10.6 IIRC) comes with Menlo, a very nice Vera clone, with good antialiasing
