I would like to make everything appear in "fontset-monaco12". I've tried setting the faces (like dired-header), but that didn't work at all. Hm... Did you customize the faces, or just mess around with them by hand? You should be able to type M-x customize-face with point on a string exhibiting the face you'd like to change, then change it, then have your life be improved. Otherwise, I would suggest M-x doctor (or M-x report-emacs-bug if you feel you need to talk to a human about things).
