In summary, you seem to be making two assertions:
(1) running ( ./configure --with-ns ; make ; make install ) is not the
same as running ( ./configure --with-ns ; make bootstrap ; make ;
make install )
Actually I think ./configure ...; make bootstrap; (sudo) make install
is OK.
Normally (on a Mac), one would expect the default font set through the
*Application-Wide* Preferences window to be, well, an application-wide
default and not per-frame setting. So really, this button in "Emacs
Preferences" is just a really clumbsy way of executing "Options >> Set
Default Font...". Is that sensible?
Probably. It's meant as a workaround. Besides, in GNU Emacs 23.0.60,
you can give every frame another font. And when you load a buffer
from frame A in frame B this window (prove it by creating a second
window in frame B) will habe frame A's font. Or fontset.
(2.2) set-default-font
Offers no completions for setting the default font.
C-h f, however reveals that: This function is obsolete since 23.1; use
set-frame-font instead. I had not previously noticed this. My bad.
set-frame-font: Offers no completions. Is the user meant to guess?
Seems to be a sign of missing adaptation to Cocoa. I don't use this,
I prefer the font panel. You can report it as a bug.
(2.3) M-x set-face-font
Offers only three possible completions, just as described in the
initial posting on this thread.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-default
-apple-Monaco-medium-normal-normal-Regular-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-
startup
-ns-*-*-*-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-standard
These are the built-in defaults. Again, there is a link missing to
Cocoa. You can report it as the same bug.
