I don't really get how fonts work on a Mac with emacs. I've seen a
couple of places that talk about how they are slightly different. I
understand that emacs expects an X type font specification. What I've
done is
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
'(font . "-apple-lucida sans
typewriter-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman"))
In my font book I can see that I have a ludica sans typewriter. I got
the above font string by doing M-x set-default-font and then tabbing
through until I found the lucida I wanted. That was the only font
available to set-default-font that was lucida sans typewriter medium
regular.
What happs is nothing. I'm still stuck with ugly old monaco. No
matter what font I set (either with the default-frame-alist variable
or the set-default-font command) I still have monaco. I can tell by
looking at the resulting font, but also describe-font (for default)
shows I'm still using monaco. There are no messages in the *Message*
buffer to clue me into what happened.
