Emacs and Leopard problems continue

[Rob MacLeod]

Hi,

How do you select fonts for Carbon and Aqua emacs ?  I find that X has  
nicer fixed pitch fonts than the native windows.

With the Carbon and Aqua emacs, I also have a hard time finding where  
to place additional LISP code for tools that I find or write to extend  
emacs.  It is all very simple and stable in the X11 versions.

And, I can have X11 windows open from which I am running LaTeX or  
other Unix programs and the focus shifts to and from an Emacs window  
with the mouse location without have to click and change contexts each  
time I switch among windows.    Small thing but one that feels  
irritating when it stops being possible.

Thanks,
Rob
