You just think you did... the first argument of the setArgument:atIndex:
method is a pointer to the value to be set.
You got this right with '&valTraitM', but missed off the ampersand
before 'font'

That means that you set the thing pointed to by 'font' as the second
argument, and that happens to be the NSFont class.

Doing [inv setArgument: &font atIndex: 2] should fix the problem.
