NSMutableAttributedString, NSFontAttributeName, and reference counting

[Michael A. Crawford]

If I allocate a font object for use with NSMutableAttributedString and assign said font to the string using the addAttribute method, will the reference count on the font be incremented? (I assume that if the answer is yes, then removeAttribute will decrement the reference count.)

As a bonus question, can I observe this in the debugger (seems like a useful skill in order to avoid similar questions along these lines in the future)? If so, how is that accomplished.
