bug#35157: 26.1; MacOSX Fixed Width Osaka Regular-Mono is variable width

[Devon Sean McCullough]

In MacOSX Emacs: Options > Set Default Font... > Fixed Width > Osaka

The "Osaka" font is misplaced in the "Fixed Width" collection:
spaces are narrower than letters and ->
	<- tab is three numerals wide.
0123456789
Variable Width fonts shouldn’t be advertised as Fixed Width.

P.S. Emacs shows characters like (insert ?\N{THUMBS UP SIGN}) 👍 as
blank space - surely some sort of visible glyph, fallback font or
highlight in the fashion of makefile-space would be better?

Unfortunately that font selection dialogue is a macOS feature, not an
Emacs one, so we’re not able to modify its behaviour. I can only
assume that the font incorrectly identifies itself as fixed width.

If you install Symbola (http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/) then it
should act as a fall‐back.
