Lost my beloved fixed width fonts

Lost my beloved fixed width fonts

[Skip Montanaro]

I recently gave Aquamacs 2.0 preview 1 (based on GNU Emacs 23.1) a try.  I
seem to have lots any and all fixed width fonts.  As a Python programmer
I find this especially harsh.  I've poked around the customization stuff
but haven't been able to come up with some magic to make fixed width
fonts the norm.  (In fact, I would prefer it if there was some way to
tell disable use of all variable width fonts.  I'm editing programs
most of the time, not using Emacs as a word processor.)

Any suggestions appreciated.

No insight into this problem?  Can someone who is an Emacs 23.1 user
at least tell me if this happens there as well?  I see it in Aquamacs
whose latest release is derived from Emacs 23.1.  That will at least
tell me if I have to drill down on the Aquamacs side or on the
Emacs side.

Thanks,

Sounds like an Aquamacs problem to me.

On my version of Aquamacs v2.0, the default font for python-mode *is* Monaco.

From the menu, doing Options  --> Appearance--> Font for Python-Mode
puts up the standard Cocoa font choice box.

shift +  + T give a new tab.

Aquamacs.

I'm running vanilla NS Emacs 23.1, and my fonts are as ever were,  
Monaco 12pt.

What happen if you hit shift +  + T, and then choose Monaco? Does it
turn fixed-width font on? For me they are working, with Emacs 23.1, on
Mac Os X 10.5.7
