I just encountered a previously reported problem where remote emacs
windows use the wrong fonts on Leopard. I'm using the most recent
Xquartz binary build on 10.5.1. When I ssh to a remote machine and
start emacs, my fonts are huge. See here:

referenced from here:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/X11-users/2007/Nov/msg00660.html
I can't tell whether anyone has followed up on the suggestion to
create an xorg.conf file and put it in /usr/X11/lib/X11 and restart
X11. Well, I tried that, and it has no effect. Neither does putting
the file in /etc/X11. Only the link trick described on the discussion
board works.
Cheers,
Sam Bayer
P.S. Does anyone know why Apple's mailing list search works so
poorly? I couldn't find the message linked above using it. This
problem seems endemic to Apple's support pages - a search on the
toplevel support page doesn't return things that a search on the
discussion pages does, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't find the
referenced discussion using the Apple search either.
