Using a new font - CURLZ MT

I wanted to use Curlz MT as a font and had to download it. I took the free version and see that its limited. No bold, for instance. Then I read that CURLZ MT comes with OS X 10.6. Where would I find it on my computer then? Thanks.

iMac 2.66 GHz 20", Mac OS X (10.6)

Tom is correct. Curlz is not part of OS X. That font is from Microsoft Office 2004 or 2008 (may also be in earlier versions). It contains only the normal weight font.

I did a search of the Snow Leopard installation disk with Pacifist and oddly, Curlz does show up in a search, but only as a .fontinfo resource in a couple of frameworks locations. There is no actual font by that name on the disk.

Thanks Walter, but perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I did download the font to the Font folder. But it doesn't allow me bold. When I searched for another download for curlz mt bold, I found an article saying it was part of the Mac OS X family. I never had curlz mt in the folder before, and still can't get it to bold, so I posted this question. Other downloads cost money and I'd like to avoid paying for it if I can.

I read that CURLZ MT comes with OS X 10.6.

Like where exactly? This list, which I think is correct, does not mention it.

I also have iLife and iWork installed, and I don't have it.

PS Curlz MT is part of MS Office, not OS X.

It may not come in bold at all, but MS Word lets you make a fake bold from such fonts. I think Apple apps will not do that.
