Here's an example configuration: (setq face-font-family-alternatives '(("myfamily" "anonymous pro"))) (set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "myfamily") I expect this should cause the default font to be set to "anonymous pro", b= ut it seems to ignore whatever I set for face-font-family-alternative and b= ehaves according to its default value instead (I always get courier or aria= l). Although setting family to "anonymous pro" directly does work. How can = I get the expected behavior?
