    <p>I downloaded Carbon emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.35) from <a href="http://emacsformacosx.com/">http://emacsformacosx.com/</a>. It defaults to using Monaco, and I would like to change it to use Inconsolata-dz. So I added:</p> <pre><code>(set-default-font "-apple-Inconsolata-dz-medium-normal-normal-*-10-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1") </code></pre> <p>to my ~/.emacs file. However, after I restart, it is still Monaco. It discovered that Option-T (or maybe Command-T) brings up a font dialog, and if I select Inconsolata-dz from that, it works great. But if I restart, it is back to Monaco. So I tried setting the font from the menu, and then going to Customize Faces and saving it, but still it does not work. The interesting thing is that if I do M-x describe-font after changing the font from the Option-T dialog, it says -apple-Inconsolata-dz-medium-normal-normal-<em>-10-</em>-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1.</p> <p>So it looks like Emacs is simply ignoring this font for some reason. Why is that, and what can I do to get it to use this font?</p> <p>Update: I tried Donkopotamus and Joost Diepenaat's recommendations and they also did not work, although I ended up getting Times as my font, instead of Monaco. However, they work great if I just use the Inconsolata (not Inconsolata-dz). So I'm wondering if there is some problem with fonts with a dash in their name?</p> <p>Update2: Why is this off-topic? The close message says "questions [should ...] relate to programming or software development in some way"; many developers use emacs, and getting settings right is important. The top two entries on a search for "programming fonts" have a combined 150; so font configs seem to be important to programmers. Anyway, if it is off-topic, where is the appropriate place to post it?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
