I find that I can change the default font emacs uses with the `-font' option, but changing from within emacs (either via `set-default-font' or the S-mouse-1 menu) has no effect -- or rather, emacs continues to _display_ characters using the old font, but apparently changes the default character cell size to use the new font (e.g., the tab-width gets changed, and the window gets resized -- since the characters are still displayed in the old font, this means that both tabs and window-size calculations are now wrong)! I use the GTK toolkit. I'm not entirely sure that this is an emacs problem (rather than an X font problem, or a GTK problem), but other X/GTK apps seem OK, so currently I'm assuming it's emacs.
