[Aquamacs Emacs|http://aquamacs.org] is a version of Emacs for Mac
OS X.  I happen to think it is the best Emacs for that platform.

One thing that has befuddled me is the font handling.  The default
Aquamacs font is a proportional font.  The problem is that this is
really annoying for text editing because columns don't line up.  Also,
if different modes are set to use different fonts then you see an
annoying screen pause for redraw when you flip between buffers.  Thus
I think the best plan is to use one single font for all modes.

It is not obvious how to accomplish this.  Some people wrote about it
on the Aquamacs mailing list; this is my attempt to make sense of
those directions.

# I assume you already have Aquamacs running of course.
# Bring up the font dialog with =Apple-t= and select the font you want to use as a default.  I suggest you use one from the =Fixed Width= family.
# Select the menu item =Options->Frame Appearance Styles->Use Current Style as Default=.
# Select the menu item =Options->Save Options= to save your selection permanently.

That worked for me on Aquamacs 0.9.9d.  YMMV.
