Hi,
How to specify font for emacs on MacOSX?
I am using emacs , not aquamacs. How can I switch to use a different
font in my .emacs file?
Thank you.

try poking around in
M-x customize
or perhaps
M-x customize-group [RET] faces [RET]

I have in .emacs

where "Menlo" and "11" are my preferences for the font and the size respectively.
Hope that helps.

You can set them in initial- and default-frame-alist:
(setq initial-frame-alist
(append (list
'(border-color . "#4e3832")
'(foreground-color . "grey10")
'(background-color . "AliceBlue")
'(active-alpha . 0.875)
'(inactive-alpha . 0.75)
'(font . "fontset-10pt_lucida_sans_typewriter")
'(top . 136) '(left . 666) '(width . 100) '(height . 57)
) initial-frame-alist))
To find a suitable font (maybe save that huge list in *completions*
buffer):
M-x set-frame-font RET TAB TAB
Miles Bader wrote list-fonts-display, which shows the name of the
fonts using the font.

To get the standard OS X font selection, you can use M-x menu-set-font
I have the following in my init file, set to use Inconsolata font on
wherever I can:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(cond ((or (eq window-system 'mac) (eq window-system 'ns))
(set-face-font 'default '"-apple-inconsolata-medium-r-normal--16-0-72-72-m-0-iso10646-1"))
((and (eq window-system 'x) (eq emacs-major-version 23))
(set-face-font 'default '"-unknown-Inconsolata-normal-normal-normal-*-16-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1")
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "-unknown-Inconsolata-normal-normal-normal-*-16-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1"))
)
((eq window-system 'x)
(set-face-font 'default '"10x20")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
