Well, Drew understands my point fine.  To repeat it (with emphasis added):

"In summary, Emacs 23 seems to have done everything it can possibly do to
defeat the efforts of a Windows user to change the font of a *frame*."

Juanma's answer was: use mouse-set-font (the X window version), to which the response is that it doesn't give a Windows font dialogue.

Your answer was: use S-mouse-1, to which the response is that it doesn't change the font of a frame.

The original question hasn't changed.  We are just going in circles!

Nobody has said anything yet about why the original Windows version of mouse-set-font was thrown away.

Cheers,
Uday
