OS/X emacs now defaults to variable width font

[Bruce Korb]

Hi,

I've googled and googled and googled and all I find are either things that are
too complicated to figure out or else I wind up with fonts wherein 80 columns
takes up half of my 21 inch screen.  Actually, some "proggy" thing worked
mostly okay, except for the fact that 8 character tabs really only
used 6 columns.
So emacs knew which column I was in, but my eyeballs did not.  I just
want some sane font like, say, courier but asking emacs for that is beyond
my abilities.  It really ought not be this difficult.  Why not just a
nice simple
menu with the "quick brown fox" sample next to it and allowing me to set it
as the default?  That would be really easy.....

Thank you!  - Bruce
