If you'd really like to put it in your .emacs file:
(setq-default-font 
"-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-m-140-mac-roman")
or
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . 
"-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-m-140-mac-roman"))


If you need to look for things like this, the "apropos" command is 
really helpful (in this case for your font problem)

C-h a font RET

and have a look through what it gives you.

Cheers,
