The manual says this:

  ‘default’
       This element of SPEC doesn’t match any terminal; instead, it
       specifies defaults that apply to all terminals. This element, if
       used, must be the first element of SPEC. Each of the following
       elements can override any or all of these defaults.

I tried using that in a theme, but the "override" part didn't work.

So I did this from "emacs -Q" to see if something else in my setup was
screwing things up for me:

(deftheme foobar "Foobar theme")
(custom-theme-set-faces 'foobar
  '(default ((default :slant normal
                      :weight bold
                      :foreground "white"
                      :background "black")
             (t :foreground "blue"))))

What I would expect is the `blue' foreground definition from the `t'
clause to override the `white' foreground definition from the `default'
clause. But alas, it doesn't work, the foreground remains white.

I asked gnu.emacs.help whether I was misinterpreting things, but the
person who felt compelled to reply agreed that this seems to be a bug.

So here's my report of the issue.

Regards, Frank
