Subject: 24.3; Set Default Font doesn't work on OSX
Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2013 12:48:55 -0700

When I go to Menu > Options > Set Default Font... and click it, nothing
happens. I expect the OS-level font tools to open for me to chose my
font and everything.

To rule out the menu being wonky, I've also tried `x-select-font', but
that didn't work for me either.

To rule out my own emacs scripts being wonky, I started emacs with
`emacs -Q'.

I can't reproduce this on 24.3 or on the trunk.  Note that the font panel in OSX is not modal, so you can continue editing in Emacs while it is being shown.  Also, it usually pops up quite a bit away from the Emacs frame, usually (for me at least) in the lower right corner, and not over the Emacs frame as other dialogs does.  Is it possible you just didn't see it?  It has happend to me.

Well, this is embarrassing. So yeah, the modal window was being displayed,
but it was being shown off-screen where I previously had it when I was
using two monitors.

Thanks for the suggestion and sorry for the bug noise.

Cheers
