Thanks for the heads-up, but as far as I'm aware the only control I have over text rendering in OS X is the "turn off font smoothing for font sizes N and smaller" setting in the Appearance panel in System Preferences, and that works on a system-wide level regardless of which font is affected and whether we're talking proportional or fixed fonts. Now, cranking that setting up makes lots of formerly nice-looking text go all crumbly. I'm really happy with how OS X renders text, it's just in Emacs that I would prefer the crisper display. (My terminal of choice, GLterm, seems to override that setting as well.) Julian
