Caution... Will might refer to the Aquamacs default font, which is  
different from the standard.
It was small in the latest release, because we were using create- 
fontset-from-fontset-spec instead of the mac-* function - the latter  
creates correct font sizes.

The choice of default fontset in CVS Emacs isn't too good or wasn't  
last time I checked, in particular since antialiasing is switched off  
by default.
I think when you set the font with set-frame-font, you get a font  
that is never antialiased - you always have to create a fontset (and  
turn on antialiasing explicitly).
