I have no idea.  I am using the one that came with the refresh done by my IT.
I strongly prefer to do fs/kernel development and not be a sys admin.
So I'll take your word for it that I'm using the "NS variant of GNU Emacs".
Meanwhile, I'd be really happy with a normal sized font that spaces tab
characters at a full "ell" instead of 3/4 of one.  But all the
flexibility of fonts
in emacs has made font selection opaque to me.  How do I just get courier?
Thank you!  Regards, Bruce
