bug#3834: 23.0.96; font rendering issue on Mac OS X

[Greg Jednaszewski]

Thanks for taking a look and making a fix.  I'd be happy to test it,  
but I haven't been building it myself.  I've been grabbing the  
pretests from here:
http://porkrind.org/emacs/

If you can provide a build or point me at some instructions on how to  
build it myself, I'll verify the fix.

Thanks,
Greg
