I'm experiencing more or less the same problem on Debian here.  The
:height setting in my .emacs for the default font gets ignored when
starting Emacs.  When I reevaluate .emacs it's applied.

I think this is a pretty serious annoyance and should be fixed before
the release - in the worst case by reverting that commit.

Note: I cannot observe this issue on Windows.

What exactly is in your .emacs file? That is, can you give a recipe to 
reproduce the problem?

Is there anything in your configuration (e.g., saved-desktop?) that 
mentions :user-spec or user-spec?

Only one place in the Emacs Lisp code uses :user-spec: 
font-setting-change-default-font. Perhaps it is causing the bug. Does 
the attached patch fix the problem?

If we want this fixed for Emacs 25.1, we cannot install such changes,
as they change behavior in subtle ways, something that shouldn't be
done so late in the pretest.  Instead, we should debug the problem,
understand exactly why it happens, and only then discuss how to fix it
on the release branch.

Thanks.

Yes, and my patch was an attempt to be part of the first step in doing 
that; it was part of a series of questions I gave to Martin about his 
configuration and what sort of perturbations make it work or not work. I 
had no intent to install the patch willy-nilly. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

No, it wasn't clear.

And you do see the difference between the frame's font parameter and
the font of the frame's default face, yes?

Obviously they are different.

That being said, I am by no means an expert in Emacs font internals nor 
do I particularly want to be; I'm just trying to help fix a bug that 
Martin considers important. If it's not an important bug after all, or 
if I'm getting in the way of fixing it, I will (happily and gratefully 
:-) move on to other things.

I didn't say it wasn't important; I think it is.

It's reproducible here with my

  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.

No.

I suppose so but didn't try it yet.  IIUC it would defy the purpose of
that function.  I have no idea what ‘font-setting-change-default-font’
is really about.  I suppose it's related to themes but maybe someone
knows more.

My analysis so far is as follows: In ‘font-setting-change-default-font’
the disjunct (frame-parameter f 'font-parameter) always evaluates to
nil here.  Before your patch, the disjunct

		 (or (font-get (face-attribute 'default :font f 'default)
			       :user-spec)

always evaluated to nil.  After your patch it returns "Monospace 11" and
‘frame-font’ gets set to that and the frame's default font too.  IIUC
the height of the default face gets set to that value too but a new
frame gets the value from my .emacs.  As a consequence, customizing the
default face will present me different height values corresponding to
the frame where I start the customization from.  That is awfully weird.

Please try with my .emacs setting on your system and tell me what you
get.  Windows doesn't have (fboundp 'font-get-system-font) so the issue
is moot there.

Any reasons why you prefer specifying each of the font's attributes
separately, instead of just specifying a font?  IOW, how is the above
different from something like

  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "-outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-15-112-96-96-c-90-iso8859-1"))

(in your case, you may wish changing the size numbers, I think)?

The advantage of the full font specification is that it works around
the subtleties of the Emacs font selection procedure, whereby it could
effectively disregard some of the attributes as result.

Why are we looking at the :font attribute, when you say the
problematic attribute is :height?

Anyway, I think the best way forward is to debug Emacs during startup,
putting a breakpoint where the :height attribute is being processed,
and see what happens before and after Paul's change of the :user-spec
symbol's definition.  (My guess is that the change is correct, and the
problems it uncovers are either unrelated bugs, or something that
isn't supposed to work in the first place, at least not reliably.)

Maybe because I also want to specify things like 'background', 'box'
or 'underline' for my faces.

The above specification is a result from customizing the default face
via the command ‘customize-face’ many years ago.  I only now noticed
that this customization is inherently broken, probably ever since: The
default value seen in the customization buffer is that of the frame
where I'm invoking ‘customize-face’ in.  I wasn't aware of that and
section 37.12 of the Elisp manual apparently nowhere mentions it (by
"broken" I mean that I would consider a "default face" canonical which,
however, doesn't seems to be the case).

Because that's where Paul's change causes an effect: Without his change
"Monospace 11" would never have entered the scene in the first place.

But that's what I've done.  Anyway: With a breakpoint at the line

   FRAME_LINE_HEIGHT (f) = font_ascent + font_descent;

at line 9602 in xterm.c I get first the "normal" setting of 15 and then
the setting of 18 ‘dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event’ induces.

You can specify these separately.

I'm not sure I follow: isn't the default face supposed to be per
frame?  Or did you mean something else?

Hmm... why is command-execute in the backtrace?  Isn't this Emacs
starting up?  If this is you evaluating .emacs by hand, then can you
show the backtrace from the first time this breakpoint breaks?

Thanks.

But it's easier to look at all of them in one and the same customization
buffer.  At least that's what a beginner would do IMO.

That's the way it's implemented.  But where do we tell that in our
documentations?

Apparently we get a config-changed-event during start-up.  Does anyone
know how these get injected?

I'm not evaluating .emacs by hand here.

OK.  Below you'll get more than you asked for.  The breakpoint is hit
four times, the third (with a value of 15) when my .emacs is read and
the fourth (with a value of 18 again) when the
‘dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event’ is processed (the fourth
is the one I posted before).

Not sure about beginners (as this is not newbie stuff at all).  I
agree that it would be more convenient to specify them all, but we
don't have such a facility.  What you did instead is instruct the font
selection process about some of your preferences.  Try stepping
through the code which implements font/fontset selection, and if you
don't get lost immediately, you will see how many semi-arbitrary
decisions that code makes.

IOW, the font selection code was not designed to support what you'd
like, not in general.  That is why I strongly recommend to just state
a specific font of your liking, and move on.

 -- Function: face-attribute face attribute &optional frame inherit
     This function returns the value of the ATTRIBUTE attribute for FACE
     on FRAME.

And all the other functions in that node accept the FRAME argument.

It will do no harm, though, to say that explicitly at the beginning of
the chapter; patches welcome.

I'm not sure I follow: command-execute is called by startup.el only
once: if there's a -f SOMETHING command-line argument.  Is that what
happened in your case?

Thanks, I will look into that and see what it tells.

What I did (in the previous century, IIRC) was to select the procedure
that I then considered best supported by the customization interface.
Can you point me to a similar interface for the step you propose?  IOW,
I still think that mine is the way a newbie would use.

IIUC none of these bear any relation to the customization interface.
When someone wants to save a face attribute in her .emacs, she usually
wants to do that for "all frames created in the future".  There's no
specific frame at that time.  And I still don't see where the
customization framework allows or suggests to specifiy a face for a
frame or for "any" frame.

I don't want to talk you into anything.  But I think that this part of
the customization interface is still missing something important.  Till
then, the documentation should describe how to achieve the desired
setting.

No.  The event is stored there by apply_xft_settings in that line

       store_config_changed_event (Qfont_render,
				  XCAR (dpyinfo->name_list_element));

All this is severely underdocumented and undercommented :-(

 > Thanks, I will look into that and see what it tells.

Currently, I defalias ‘dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event’ to
‘ignore’.  I don't think we can recommend that to users.  Maybe we
should invent a new option like ‘x-handle-configuration-changes’ which
defaults to t.  Users encoutering problems like me could then set it to
nil in their .emacs.  In any case, I think that this part has not been
given much testing due to the bug Paul uncovered.

I don't understand why we are talking about customization interfaces.
I thought the problem was that requesting a font by specifying some of
its attributes doesn't work.  Now I'm confused: what problem is at
hand?

"M-x customize-face" changes the face definitions on all frames, but
you can invoke set-face-attribute with a specific frame to change the
face only on that frame.

> And I still don't see where the customization framework allows or

I don't think it does.

In any case, it looks like a simple question of mine led us aside for
no good reason.  Whether faces are or aren't per frame has nothing to
do with the problem at hand.

So far I was only able to reproduce the problem by customizing the
default face via the customization interface.  I didn't dig into the
interiors of this yet so I can't tell whether customizing the default
face is a conditio sine qua non for reproducing the problem.

But then ‘set-face-attribute’ wouldn't make sense in .emacs, right?

I'm afraid that's not enough of a recipe for me to reproduce the problem. On 
Ubuntu 16.04 x86-64 if I change my ~/.emacs file so that it contains just the 
abovementioned code, and then run the shell command 'src/emacs -q --eval 
"(set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 80)"', I get a *scratch* buffer where 
evaluating (setq F (face-attribute 'default :font (car (car (cdr 
(current-frame-configuration)))) 'default)) yields a font object F that prints 
as #<font-object "-DAMA-Ubuntu 
Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-11-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1">, and (font-get F 
:user-spec) indeed yields "Ubuntu Mono 13" in emacs-25 whereas it yields nil in 
Emacs 24.5. OK, but what is the regression here? The display has the same (ugly) 
appearance in Emacs 24.5 that it does in emacs-25. And in both Emacs 24.5 and 
emacs-25 if I reapply .emacs the display changes to the same (nicer) appearance.

The emacs-25 value of (font-get F :user-spec) is what was intended by commit 
42707278 as part of a fix for Bug#5157, by the way.

I'm afraid I can't reproduce a problem from this informal description. Perhaps 
if you could say exactly which code to run....  That being said, does the 
attached experimental patch address the issue for you? Again, I'm not seriously 
proposing installing this, just trying to understand the problem.

I have no idea what the --eval is for.  I suppose that if you don't get
the ‘dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event’ which arrives here
_after_ my .emacs setting gets applied you won't see the problem.

But in Emacs 25 I have to _manually_ reapply .emacs.  I have no problems
installing a workaround for this here.  Other users very likely will see
problems ...

It gets me

dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event: Symbol’s value as variable is void: default-face-font-user-spec

After that the .emacs setting is retained but I don't know whether the
‘dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event’ induced setting is not
applied because of what your patch changes or because of the error.

I put that --eval in only because Rostislav Svoboda's bug report mentioned it 
and I thought that it was needed to reproduce the bug.

Yes, that is annoying. But I had to manually reapply .emacs in Emacs 24.5 too, 
with the scenario involving --eval. So this was not a regression for me in that 
case, which means I haven't reproduced your bug yet....

Ach, that was a stupid last-minute typo. Revised patch attached.

Aha.  It's not needed here.

I see.

In this case the behavior is unchanged.  This is expected since the
problematic call is ‘set-face-attribute’ (as you can see from the
backtraces I sent) and your patch doesn't inhibit that.

Can you debug this?
