Thanks but that doesn't work for me. I get 

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No fonts match `-*-lucida sans 
typewriter regular-medium-r-*-mac-cyrillic'")
  signal(error ("No fonts match `-*-lucida sans typewriter 
regular-medium-r-*-mac-cyrillic'"))
  error("No fonts match `%s'" "-*-lucida sans typewriter 
regular-medium-r-*-mac-cyrillic")
  x-resolve-font-name("-*-lucida sans typewriter 
regular-medium-r-*-mac-cyrillic")
 ...

The above look like X11 fonts, I thought Carbon emacs was independent of 
X11 (which is installed on my machine)

The distribution comes with a files in site-start.d which the 
instructions say to delete if you don't want to work in Japanese. I 
tried changing the file carbon-emacs-fontset.el to say:

(when (eq window-system 'mac)

  (setq mac-allow-anti-aliasing t)

;;   ;; mac-roman
     (set-default-font "fontset-mac")
     (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "fontset-mac"))

  ;; Osaka 12
  ;;(require 'carbon-font)
  ;;(set-default-font "fontset-osaka12")
  ;;(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "fontset-osaka12"))

  )
 
that that doesn't help (or hurt)

Isn't it a bug that it doesn't just work ? The emacs that comes with the 
Developer tools doesn't require this kind of customization. I've used 
emacs for 20 years and never had to bother with font customization. I 
guess I should know more about these things but I never had to before
