I recently gave Aquamacs 2.0 preview 1 (based on GNU Emacs 23.1) a try.  I
seem to have lots any and all fixed width fonts.  As a Python programmer
I find this especially harsh.  I've poked around the customization stuff
but haven't been able to come up with some magic to make fixed width
fonts the norm.  (In fact, I would prefer it if there was some way to
tell disable use of all variable width fonts.  I'm editing programs
most of the time, not using Emacs as a word processor.)

Any suggestions appreciated.

:bump:

No insight into this problem?  Can someone who is an Emacs 23.1 user
at least tell me if this happens there as well?  I see it in Aquamacs
whose latest release is derived from Emacs 23.1.  That will at least
tell me if I have to drill down on the Aquamacs side or on the
Emacs side.

Thanks,

S

What happen if you hit shift +  + T, and then choose Monaco? Does it
turn fixed-width font on? For me they are working, with Emacs 23.1, on
Mac Os X 10.5.7

Sounds like an Aquamacs problem to me.

On my version of Aquamacs v2.0, the default font for python-mode *is* Monaco.

From the menu, doing Options  --> Appearance--> Font for Python-Mode
puts up the standard Cocoa font choice box.

shift +  + T give a new tab.

Aquamacs.

I'm running vanilla NS Emacs 23.1, and my fonts are as ever were,  
Monaco 12pt.
