Upgraded

Well, Master! There's an intergalactic distance between the conditions in the definition of Master and my very humble contributions, but there's an algorithm behind the scenes in the end. I noticed yesterday I had an Apprentice removed by someone, my current subtotals are 38 Apprentice, 107 Journeyer, 3 Master, so the level looks technically suspicious, doesn't it?

Andale Mono in GNU Emacs/Cocoa with Latin-1

Thanks to a hint jao gave me yesterday I can enter accented words in GNU Emacs/Cocoa using Andale Mono. A fontset needs to be defined:

    (set-language-environment "Latin-1")
    (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
     "-apple-andale mono-medium-r-normal--0-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-andale,
       ascii:-apple-andale mono-medium-r-normal--0-*,
       latin-iso8859-1:-apple-andale mono-medium-r-normal--0-*")
    (setq default-frame-alist '((font . "fontset-andale")))
    (setq initial-frame-alist default-frame-alist)

Magnific!
