windows python sudden IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

If things worked before and you have proper rights to write the file/directory then check if the filename is a valid name for a file. An invalid file name can also cause this error.

Emacs display monospace fonts in buffer

Found code. Doesn't really filter monospace fonts:
 
 
(defun font-is-mono-p (font-family)
  ;; with-selected-window
  (let ((wind (selected-window))
        m-width l-width)
   (with-current-buffer "*Monospace Fonts*"
     (set-window-buffer (selected-window) (current-buffer))
     (text-scale-set 4)
     (insert (propertize "l l l l l" 'face `((:family ,font-family))))
     (goto-char (line-end-position))
     (setq l-width (car (posn-x-y (posn-at-point))))
     (newline)
     (forward-line)
     (insert (propertize "m m m m m" 'face `((:family ,font-family) italic)))
     (goto-char (line-end-position))
     (setq m-width (car (posn-x-y (posn-at-point))))
     (eq l-width m-width))))

(defun compare-monospace-fonts ()
  "Display a list of all monospace font faces."
  (interactive)
  (pop-to-buffer "*Monospace Fonts*")

  (erase-buffer)
  (dolist (font-family (font-family-list))
    (when (font-is-mono-p font-family)
      (let ((str font-family))
        (newline)
        (insert
         (propertize (concat "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog 1 l; 0 O o ("
                             font-family ")\n") 'face `((:family ,font-family)))
         (propertize (concat "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog 1 l; 0 O o ("
                             font-family ")\n") 'face `((:family ,font-family) italic)))))))

(grep-apply-setting 'grep-command "c:\\\"Program Files\"\\Git\\usr\\bin\\grep.exe -n -i ")

(setq helm-grep-default-command (concat "c:\\\"Program Files\"\\Git\\usr\\bin\\" helm-grep-default-command))
