[OS X TeX] bold sf in memoir

[Themis Matsoukas]

Morten,

Thanks to your test I realize that the conflict occurs because I load

\usepackage{mathtime}
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{cmss}
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{cmtt}

This loads times as the default font but makes  cmss and cmtt the  
default sans and typewriter fonts instead of the uglier helvetica and  
courier that are loaded with mathtime. The conflict is in the  
\renewcommands: these work fine in \documentclass{article} but in  
memoir they seem to neutralize \sffamily\bfseries.

Is there a better way to load cmss and cmtt than the one I am using?  
I suppose I could go inside mathtime.sty and comment out the  
helvetica/courier lines, but I'd rather not.

Themis
