I can use guifont=*, and have tried many different fonts which have bold and
italic glyphs. The problem is that no matter which font I choose, Vim refuses
to show text in Bold (Unless I choose a font which has only a bold glyph). I
get the impression it's a shortcoming of the OS X GUI, because underlined text
doesn't work either (Vim reverses the bg/fg colors instead).

Peter
