So I tried applying your patch just to dir>/share/emacs/25.0.93/lisp/faces.el, recompiling faces.elc and restarting emacs. But the variable-pitch is > still "Sans Serif" family instead of being set to Arial. No, it's not Sans Serif, it's Arial, just the bold-italic variant of it. Try this: M-: (face-font 'variable-pitch) RET What do you see? > On my windows, C-h v system-type gives windows-nt. So I replaced w32 with windows-nt, recompiled > faces.elc, restarted emacs, and still nothing happened. faces is preloaded, so it's not enough to recompile it. And w32 is correct, since it should name the frame type (a.k.a. 'window-system') value, not the system type. > I am not sure I any of my previous emails were received, but FWIW, I cannot figure out if edits to that faces.el > are being effective on Windows, or if that patch is working for me. You need to dump Emacs after byte-compiling faces.el.
