Default face - font questions.

[Alexandros Prekates <aprekates@openmailbox.org>]

In emacswiki (1) i read:

To change the default font for new (non special-display) frames, put 
either of these in your init file 
<http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/InitFile#init_file>:


    |(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . | /|FONT|/ |))|

    |(set-face-attribute 'default t :font | /|FONT|/ |))|

To change the default font for the current frame, as well as future 
frames, put either of these in your init file:


    |(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font | /|FONT|/ |))|

    |(set-frame-font | /|FONT|/ |nil t)|

|
I understand how when we are in the middle of an emacs session it'd help 
to have an option to change the
font only of the future-new frames.
|

|But i dont understand the difference of using the 't', or 'nil' option 
in an .init file when starting a new emacs session . Doesnt it hold than 
in that case all frames are newone making 't' superfluous in .init file?
