Hallöchen!

I just upgraded to current Git Emacs (commit c66eb52453) from
October Emacs (commit 241574375d).  Now, the modeline and the Gnus
email headers in the article view have a different font from the
rest.  In particular, a .emacs only containing

(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Ubuntu Mono" :height 140)

used to change the modeline.  However with current Git Emacs, it
does not affect it.

I assume this is a deliberate change, therefore I did not file a bug
report but ask here how to handle this best?

Thanks!

Tschö,
Torsten.

From etc/NEWS

+++
** New face 'mode-line-active'.
This inherits from the 'mode-line' face, but is the face actually used
on the mode lines (along with 'mode-line-inactive').

---
** The mode line now uses a proportional font by default.
To get the old monospaced mode line back, customize the
'mode-line-active' and 'mode-line-inactive' faces not to inherit from
the 'variable-pitch' face, or add this to your "~/.emacs":

  (set-face-attribute 'mode-line-active nil :inherit 'mode-line)
  (set-face-attribute 'mode-line-inactive nil :inherit 'mode-line)

---
*** Gnus now uses a variable-pitch font in the headers by default.
To get the monospace font back, you can put something like the
following in your .gnus file:

    (set-face-attribute 'gnus-header nil :inherit 'unspecified)

Thank you, this worked!  (Additionally, I had to revert the default
colour for the inactive mode line.)

For me, this didn’t work out-of-the-box.  Apparently, the colour
“gnus-header” is defined rather late in the Gnus startup.  I had to
write:

(add-hook 'gnus-setup-news-hook (lambda () (set-face-attribute 'gnus-header nil :inherit 'unspecified)))

Even the gnus-started-hook was not “late” enough.

Tschö,
Torsten.

This single line worked for me:

(set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :inherit 'default)

The face gnus-header is defined in gnus-art.el, hence I added this to my
.gnus:

(with-eval-after-load "gnus-art"
  (set-face-attribute 'gnus-header nil :inherit 'unspecified))

Best, Arash

Thank you, this works also for me and is certainly the
least-invasive change you can get.

Tschö,
Torsten.

To change the mode line? But you don't mention a/any mode line
face ... they are

  mode-line          
  mode-line-buffer-id
  mode-line-emphasis 
  mode-line-highlight
  mode-line-inactive

(BTW it seems they are "inverted" or whatever that property is
called (?) so to for example get white text the _background_
is set to white ...)
