This problem is a consequence of the many fixes for the font propagation bug 19346.

On MacOS X the native Group control uses a bold font in its title.
If font propagtion is used, that is if the parent's font is always propagated
to its children, the bold font used in Groups is overwritten with a non-bold font.

Since ZRH hasn't yet fixed any of the problem reports related to bug 19346, all ZRH pref
pages and dialogs show the correct behavior.

(There is a proposal by Dirk Baeumer that would fix this problem; he and Steve 
Northover have the details).

For 2.1 the DialogFont is to be applied to all of the widgets in the dialog 
regardless of whether or not this font is different than the default font for 
that platform (Lists on AIX have this issue as well incidentally).

Marking as WONTFIX.
