No. I think you are missing Wes' point. Of course you can set
different fonts for different faces, but that does not help with the
particular issue that Wes mentions. The calendar uses the default
face, as does org-mode for "normal" text. Therefore, you can't change
one without screwing up the other. If XEmacs allows the font
associated with a particular face to be buffer-local, then that is a
big improvement.

A work-around for GNU Emacs would be for org to use define an
"org-default" face that inherits from "default" but can be changed
independently. Is this feasible, Carsten? I would appreciate that
feature too.

The main reason I don't use XEmacs any more is that there is no
version for OS X that is as nice as Aquamacs...
