Sorry, you're right.

I use (setq mac-command-key-is-meta nil) at my hand. Anyway alt/option  
key is first recognized by Emacs, not by Mac OS X text system, I think.

A sample solution (simplified) may be:

(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
  (concat
   "-apple-osaka-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-test12"
   ",ascii:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-*-75-75-m-*-mac-roman"
    
",latin-iso8859-1:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-*-75-75-m-*-mac- 
roman"
    
",latin-iso8859-15:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-*-75-75-m-*-mac- 
roman" ;; <== added
   ))
   (set-default-font "fontset-test12")
   (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "fontset-test12"))
