Warning: novice mac programmer (== ApplyPatience)

I'm using LSC 2.13 + 2.15 libs (thanks Rich) and was trying to generate a
font point size menu with the appropriate entries highlighted (bold or italic)
well IM says to use ReadFont() -- ok so I try RealFont(...) == TRUE and it 
always (for all the point sizes) uses the else portion. However if I use
the inverse situation of RealFont(...) == FALSE it correctly will highlight
some and not others. Now I did not change the #define for TRUE or FALSE in my
.h so I assume it is coming from one of the standard includes. Is it better to
use FALSE when dealing with IM functions that return pascal booleans? or is one
of my defs screwed up? -- what is a pascal boolean really supposed to be
returning? 0 and 1? 0 and non-0? or perhaps positive and negative?
