How set font for *all* buffers... not just first one?

How set font for *all* buffers... not just first one?

[seberino]

This line in .emacs set font for first buffer only...

(set-frame-font "-b&h-luxi mono-medium-r-normal-*-*-160-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15")

So my question is....where do I set font so that all buffers
use that font???....

(Right now find-file-other-frame gives a new buffer with
wrong font.)

thanks,

Chris

Use `default-frame-alist' or set the font as an X resources.

or use M-x customize-face RET default RET

Or, if running emacs 21, you can use set-face-attribute for the
default face. If the 3rd argument to this function is nil, it will
apply to all frames e.g.

(set-face_attribute 'default nil :family "b&h-lucidatypewriter")

or, on the command line use emacs -fn "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-......

Personally, I like to use X resources for setting the font as using
that font is only relevant when your running under X, but your .emacs
runs when you running under tty, X, within xterm, etc etc.

The X setting is

emacs.font: -b&h-..........

in your .Xresources file.

Please tell me format to set font in default-frame-alist...

I tried adding (frame-font  . "-b&h-luxi mono-medium-r-normal-*-*-160-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15") amongst the other elements of the list and it didn't take.

Tim

thanks for help...

I have Emacs 21 and tried 
(set-face_attribute ...) as well as
(set-face-attribute ...)

the first gave error and second didn't change font.

Am I missing something?

Use 'font' instead of 'frame-font'.
