I need to open some Emacs windows for better editing performances. One
for normal text editing and the other for ECB coding.

But I don't know why my Emacs font changes when I use command
M-x new-frame to open a new Emacs frame.

I just don't like the font Emacs using for my new frame. How can I set
this?

Thanks

Water Lin

You need to set the default frame parameters:

(require 'cl)
(let ((font-cell (assoc 'font default-frame-alist)))
  (if font-cell 
     (setf (cdr font-cell) "your-font")
     (setf default-frame-alist (acons 'font "your-font" default-frame-alist))))


Or just M-x customize-variable RET default-frame-alist RET
