To get the standard OS X font selection, you can use M-x menu-set-font

I have the following in my init file, set to use Inconsolata font on
wherever I can:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(cond ((or (eq window-system 'mac) (eq window-system 'ns))
      (set-face-font 'default 
'"-apple-inconsolata-medium-r-normal--16-0-72-72-m-0-iso10646-1"))
      ((and (eq window-system 'x) (eq emacs-major-version 23))
       (set-face-font 'default 
'"-unknown-Inconsolata-normal-normal-normal-*-16-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1")
       (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . 
"-unknown-Inconsolata-normal-normal-normal-*-16-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1"))
       )
      ((eq window-system 'x)
       (set-face-font 'default '"10x20")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
