[GNU Emacs] emacs font spacing

[GNU Emacs] emacs font spacing

Hi,

   I've been trying to figure out a way to set up "monaco" font on GNU
emacs. Everything has been successful, except that the fonts are
horizontally spread out. Is there anyway to eliminate the horizontal spacing
between each character, like Ubuntu terminal does with the exactly same
font? The below is what I have on my "~/.emacs" file.

(add-to-list
      'default-frame-alist
      '(font . "-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1"))

Thanks,
Sangha Im

Try =M-x customize-face RET default RET=. There should be an entry in
the customizer for "width". Use "medium" as default, but you could try
"compressed" or "condensed". Save the changes, and copy the code (edit
it first!) into your init file, if you wish.
