It seems that in NS (on OS X), font names have become case-sensitive
since Emacs 22 (Carbon at least). Setting a face to use family
"lucida grande" or "monaco" doesn't work - it results in frames full
of empty boxes (because the font can't be loaded, I presume). I also
found that the face, if you do (customize-face 'default), have
their :family attributes set to "Monotype_Sorts". This font doesn't
seem to exist on my system.
Given that people have faces configured in their custom-file, I don't
think a sudden case-sensitivity is going to make our users happy,
whatever good reasons for this design choice there might exist.
(I can try to write a bug report if the above isn't sufficiently
detailed.)

IIUC, NS font names should no longer be case sensitive.
