Monotouch Custom Font with Attributes

How can i specify font bold/italic etc. properties in monotouch?

Actually possible in native library http://www.freetimestudios.com/2010/09/20/ipad-and-ios-4-custom-font-loading/

NSDictionary *fontAttributes =
  [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
    @"Courier", (NSString *)kCTFontFamilyNameAttribute,
    @"Bold", (NSString *)kCTFontStyleNameAttribute,
    [NSNumber numberWithFloat:16.f], (NSString *)kCTFontSizeAttribute,
    nil];
CTFontDescriptorRef descriptor =
  CTFontDescriptorCreateWithAttributes((CFDictionaryRef)attributes);
CTFontRef font = CTFontCreateWithFontDescriptor(descriptor, 0, NULL);
CFRelease(descriptor);

The MonoTouch / C# code to match your code snippet would look like this:

CTFontDescriptorAttributes fda = new CTFontDescriptorAttributes () {
    FamilyName = "Courier",
    StyleName = "Bold",
    Size = 16.0f
};
CTFontDescriptor fd = new CTFontDescriptor (fda);
CTFont font = new CTFont (fd, 0);
