Is Lucida Grande available for Emacs on Mac OS X? If so, what is its identifier? Are you _sure_ that there _is_ a font '-*-Lucida Grande-*-120-*' on your system? The C-q trick worked perfectly for me. I do not have Lucida Grande on my system, but I successfully tried M-x set-frame-font -*-century schoolbook-* (with C-q ). I use GNU/Linux and do not know whether you can run `xlsfonts' on Mac OS X. If you can, try: xlsfonts -fn '-*-Lucida Grande-*' You said that 'Lucida Grande' was the system default, but what about the '-120' part? Is that the system default too? Is it available? Sincerely, Luc.
