Thanks, but as I said, I tried creating fontsets. The issue is that 
Monaco 11 isn't apparently supported.

Well, I suppose that's my answer, then. There is no bitmap for 11pt 
Monaco, I don't think. Then again, I'm using Aquamacs, which uses 
anti-aliased outline fonts. I suppose it's still limiting the available 
font sizes to those with bitmaps. I wonder how I might overcome that 
unfortunate limitation.
