With emacs -Q, changing a faces's :weight has no effect.  Here is what
describe-face says about the default face, in case it matters.

            Width: normal

Please tell how you tried to set the face's :weight.

If you change "Weight" via customize-face, does it also fail to work?

And does that font have a bold variant on your system?  If so, can you
tell what is its numeric value of the :weight attribute?

It turns out that the Monaco font on my system is damaged in some way.
It shows a variant for 'bold' in the Font Book utility, but validating
that font in Font Book shows it is invalid.

Sorry for the noise.
