23.0.60; Default face in new frames

[Markus Triska]

When I start "emacs -Q", and then evaluate the following form:

(custom-set-faces
   '(default ((t (:stipple nil :background "white" :foreground "black"
                  :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil
                  :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal
                  :height 180 :width normal :family "adobe-courier"))) t))

The frame and face get bigger, as intended. When I then evaluate:

(switch-to-buffer-other-frame "new")

the new frame uses the old (smaller) default face again.

In contrast, when I start "emacs -Q", and then evaluate the form:

(progn
  (custom-set-faces
     '(default ((t (:stipple nil :background "white" :foreground "black"
                    :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil
                    :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal
                    :height 180 :width normal :family "adobe-courier"))) t))
  (switch-to-buffer-other-frame "new"))

both the old and the new frame get the bigger default face.
