However, I cannot install them, because they rely on x > ressources. I've had the same problem and found the following entry in the FAQ at http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/FAQ.txt quite helpful. Just change the font to whichever one you prefer, because 9pt Monaco is really small. You have to use one of the fonts that show up in the completion list for set-frame-font and which have non-zero size (as the entry points out). 16pt Courier mightn't be in that list. --- ** How do I create my own fontset? To properly display latin-1 characters using 9-pt Monaco, do this: (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec "-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco, ascii:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-m-90-mac-roman, latin-iso8859-1:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-m-90-mac-roman") and set-frame-font to "fontset-monaco". You can also use any other font that has non-zero size in the list returned by the function x-list-fonts. -- Peter Ilberg
