The doc string for set-default-font explicitly says that it only applies
to the current frame.
The "Font Specification Options" section of the Emacs manual says:
| By default, Emacs displays text in the font named `9x15', which
| makes each character nine pixels wide and fifteen pixels high. You can
| specify a different font on your command line through the option `-fn
| NAME' (or `--font', which is an alias for `-fn').
|
| `-fn NAME'
| `--font=NAME'
| Use font NAME as the default font.
...
| You can also specify the font in your `.Xdefaults' file:
|
| emacs.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1
I prefer the .Xdefaults method, although I use the Emacs*Font class spec
instead of the emacs.font instance spec.
Or, you could do this in your .emacs:
(let ((font "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1"))
(setq initial-frame-alist
(cons `(font . ,font) initial-frame-alist))
(setq default-frame-alist
(cons `(font . ,font) default-frame-alist)))

Hi all,
I use (set-default-font
"-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1")
in my .emacs to set te font I like, but when I open another window with
C x 5-2 emacs use the default font instead of my one, how can I fix it ?
Vincenzo.

What about
((set-face-font
'default "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1")
?

That's the most strange result. I have it at the very beginning of my
.emacs and just tried it in the *scratch* buffer.
(set-face-font
'default
'"-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15")
There are 2 parameters, correctly pointing that the change has to
affect all frames.
I'm using
"GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2002-03-22 on raven, modified by Debian"
