I want to use the Lucida Sans Typewriter font on my TiBook, and have configured it like this: (set-frame-font "-apple-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-normal--11-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman") This works great, except that Mac OS X's font smooting doesn't kick in at this font size. Compare this screen shot of Emacs with the above setting: http://david.wheeler.net/Emacs.pdf To this one of TextEdit displaying the same text in 11 point Lucida Sans Typewriter: http://david.wheeler.net/TextEdit.pdf If I increase the size to 12, the font-smoothing kicks in, but not at 11. Is there a hard-set minimum font size at which Emacs allows font smoothing? I've set the minimum size in the "General" system preferences to 8 points -- maybe Emacs could look for that setting when it's available? If I'm mistaken about the hard-setting of the minimum font-smooting font size, and there's some setting that allows me to get Emacs to exploit Mac OS X's font-smoothing at at point sizes smaller than 12, I'd be grateful to know what it is. Thanks! David
