These are the possibly relevant things in my .emacs:

  (set-terminal-coding-system 'iso-8859-1)

  (setq mac-keyboard-text-encoding kTextEncodingISOLatin1)

  (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
    "-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco,
 ascii:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-m-100-mac-roman,
 latin-iso8859-1:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-m-100-mac-roman")

  ;; Only the font entry is relevant 
  (setq default-frame-alist '((width . 80)
                              (height . 50)
                              (font . "fontset-monaco")))
