   Is Lucida Grande available for Emacs on Mac OS X? If so, what is its 
   identifier?

Are you _sure_ that there _is_ a font '-*-Lucida Grande-*-120-*' on
your system?  The C-q trick worked perfectly for me.  I do not have
Lucida Grande on my system, but I successfully tried 
M-x set-frame-font <RET> -*-century schoolbook-* (with C-q <SPC>).

I use GNU/Linux and do not know whether you can run `xlsfonts' on Mac
OS X.  If you can, try:

xlsfonts -fn '-*-Lucida Grande-*'

You said that 'Lucida Grande' was the system default, but what about
the '-120' part?  Is that the system default too?  Is it available?

Sincerely,

Luc.
