The GNU project page says Mac OS X is a supported platform. I downloaded it, but ./configure says it is not supported. etc/MACHINES only mentions YellowDogLinux/PPC, no Mac in there. What is the official status of Emacs on the web? What is the most current info page that is maintained (is there one?)? If there is a current working Emacs, does anyone know how to get normal fonts working and set that in the .emacs file? (I also found dozens of outdated webpages on that topic; most of their hints didn't work for my emacs 21.3.X)... Thanks for your help, Ulrich
