Bless you.

(But in my defense, I did verify that mac-emacs picks up fonts from the 
standard OS X font search paths, specifically from 
/Users/<uid>/Library/Fonts, and that the system fonts and my private 
fonts have latin 1 glyphs.  Emacs just refused to use them.  But now I 
observe that glyphs for codepoints > 127 come from the gnu fonts even 
when I've set a mac font (try Zapfino) as the face.  I.e. it looks like 
emacs won't use the upper half of the latin 1 glyphs from the mac fonts, 
substituting glyphs from the gnu fonts.  Strikes me as odd; I suppose it 
has something to do with font encoding vectors or truetype 
machinations.  Can anyone enlighten me as to what's happening?  And esp. 
how to get at the full set of glyphs in the mac system fonts?)

BTW, I put the gnu fonts in /Users/<myid>/Library/Font; I'd suggest a 
note covering this in the README.

Heartfelt thanks for all the suggestions - the internet to the rescue 
once again!
