Hi Enrico,

Emacs does not recognize the Truetype fonts (including Monaco) as
having bold, italic, and bold-italic variants.  This can be fixed but
the result will probably not work as well as expected because of the
different widths used by the variants (italic characters in bounding
boxes look sparse).  In the mean time, -etl-fixed-medium-i-*16*,
-etl-fixed-bold-r-*16*, etc. work well.  Try installing the following
font into your ~/Library/Fonts/ folder, or your System 9 Fonts folder.

Emacs is setup to look for them by default so you don't need to do
anything to use them.

Andrew.
