It was a long and weary battle but I got some advice and solved the
problem with this:

(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
                                
"-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco,
        ascii:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-120-mac-roman,
        mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-apple-lucida 
grande-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman,
        mule-unicode-2500-33ff:-apple-bitstream vera sans mono 
bold-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman,
        
latin-iso8859-15:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-120-mac-roman,
        
latin-iso8859-1:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-120-mac-roman"
)

(set-face-font
 'default "-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco")

for 9 points 

(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
"-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco,
        ascii:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-m-90-mac-roman,
        mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-apple-lucida 
grande-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman,
        mule-unicode-2500-33ff:-apple-bitstream vera sans mono 
bold-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman,
        
latin-iso8859-15:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-m-90-mac-roman,
        
latin-iso8859-1:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-m-90-mac-roman")

Sadly I lost the references for the credits :(.

Hmmm...  I think thak  the use  of mac  roman is  in second  place for
deserving  a  rightful  spanking  (for  Apple  developers)  after  the
implementation of cp, mv and so on ... :)
