Suppose I am using "foo" font in my init.el file: (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "foo 13" ) (set-frame-font "foo 13" nil t) and that I am working with many buffers. Now suppose I change the font to use 'bar' font: (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "bar13" ) (set-frame-font "bar 13" nil t) When I restart Emacs, it loads the buffers with the old 'foo' font. Usually, to have the buffers with the new font, I remove the desktop file and reload manually the working buffers. Is there a way to do this differently? My opinion is that desktop file should remember cursor position, working buffers, their visiting modes, searched word, frame geometry-position etc. not the font how buffers are displayed and similar.

I don't think I can reproduce this. But since you didn't show the full recipe, I cannot be sure I did what you did. Are you saying that the old font was recorded in the desktop file, but the new one isn't? How is that possible? Why would the old font end up being recorded in the desktop file, but not the new one? Maybe you changed the font outside the Emacs session, just by editing the init.el file? In that case, you should change the font inside the session, and then save the desktop, then the information in the desktop file will be updated for the next restart. > Is there a way to do this differently? Yes. First, you could change the font inside the session and save desktop. Another possibility is to disable restoring frames (a font is an attribute of a frame, not of a buffer). There's also a possibility to control which variables get saved and restored, but I'm not sure it will help in this case. > My opinion is that desktop file should remember cursor position, working > buffers, their visiting modes, searched word, frame geometry-position > etc. not the font how buffers are displayed and similar. If you choose to restore frames, Emacs assumes you want them exactly as they were the last time. Otherwise, why use desktop at all to save frame configuration? Of course, if someone wants to extend desktop.el to provide even more control on what aspects of frames are restored, such patches will be welcome, I'm sure. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread

I didn't change anything. This is a recipe: Save you current ~/.emacs.d folder then create an empty one: mkdir .emacs.d and put there this init.el file $ cat init.el (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Source Code Pro 13" ) (set-frame-font "Source Code Pro 13" nil t) ;; Instead of saving on ~/.emacs.desktop (setq desktop-base-file-name "~/.emacs.d/desktop") ;; Instead of saving on ~/.emacs.desktop.lock (setq desktop-base-lock-name "~/.emacs.d/desktop.lock") ;; Save desktop (desktop-save-mode 1) Now start Emacs and visit, for example, init.el. Quit Emacs saving the desktop. Restart Emacs. It reload init.el and the font used is right, Source Code Pro. This is confirmed in Options | Set default font. Now, in the init.el file, change "Source Code Pro 13" with, for example, "Lucida Console 13". Quit Emacs. Restart Emacs. It reload init.el but displays it with "Source Code Pro" NOT with the font we have set in the init.el file, and Options | Set default font still shows it is using Source Code Pro. I would expect the buffer is rendered with the font we have set in the init.el file. Now if you quit Emacs and rename the desktop file, mv desktop desktop-save the next time you start Emacs, it starts without desktop file and scratch buffer and all the other visited buffers, hereafter, are rendered with Lucida Console, i.e. the font we have set in init.el. Also Options | Set default font confirms the new font is used, now. The desktop file stores the font even if init.el says to use another one, $ grep Source desktop-save (setq desktop-saved-frameset [frameset 1 (22485 45444 720000 0) (desktop . "208") [...] (font-backend uniscribe gdi) (font . "-outline-Source Code Pro-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1") (border-width . 2) (internal-border-width . 0)[...] My opinion is that desktop file should not register this information, the font used should be always what is set in the initialization file.. otherwise why it is called "initialization" file?

Yes, because the first frame is restored based on the desktop file, together with its frame parameters, which include the font. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread

On EmacsWiki [1], I find 'To change the default font for the current frame, as well as future frames, put either of these in your init file: (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font FONT )) (set-frame-font FONT nil t) where FONT is a string naming the font you want, for example, "Droid Sans Mono-10"' So I would expect that restarting Emacs, not only the second but also the first frame is rendered with the new font. If I have to customize something else, like you suggest, the EmacsWiki information are incomplete. The question, then, is: How an user can change the default font so that this change in the init file is honored also by desktop file? What to put in the init file..

What to > put in the init file.. I think Martin explain how to achieve that: you need to customize the list of frame parameters that are not restored from the desktop file. The corresponding variable belongs to frameset.el because this is the infrastructure used by desktop.el to save/restore frames. Alternatively, you could customize desktop not to restore frames. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread
