I'd like to replace it with something easier to read. Unfortunately Emacs doesn't seem to be able to access the native Mac fonts, although I am not sure about this. Trying to get it to use Lucida Grande, I put (set-face-font 'default "-apple-lucida grande-medium-r-normal--12-140-75-75-m-120-mac-roman") in my .emacs file, but only the default opening buffer is in this font- all subsequent buffers revert to the Courier font. Obviously my configuration is incomplete somehow. How do I get the face to apply to all buffers? I would have throught that set-face-font 'default would do this automatically, but apparently not. Carbon Emacs 21.3.50.1, not built by me, 5/29/04 (US date convention). Thanks for any help!
