Bold disappeared on OS X Tiger, Emacs CVS, Gnus CVS

[Seth Falcon]

Hi,

I just upgraded to OS X Tiger and rebuilt GNU Emacs from CVS.  I've
been using Gnus from CVS and also updated (this was all in the last
two days).

Everyting is working fine, but I don't see any bold face in Gnus at
all.  I used to see bold group names in *Group* buffer when groups had
unread mails (er, news).  I also would see bold for messages with
increased score.

It isn't a (general) font problem.  I can see bold just fine in other
modes in Emacs.

Any suggestions for me?  Things are looking a little plain :-(

Thanks,

+ seth

I've updated Emacs and Gnus via CVS and still am "boldless".  Is
anyone else experiencing this?  

Is there useful info I could provide that would help someone guide me
in the right direction?

Thanks,

OK, I'm quite embarassed having replied to my own post a 3rd time, but
wanted to post a solution in case anyone else comes across this.

If bold is not working for you with carbon Emacs on OS X, see this

Sorry for taking up space on this.
