..but the font configuration is not matter that desktop file should handle..

desktop file could override what isn't yet in the init file but not what 
it has.. otherwise which is the role of init file?

In any case, it seems we are wasting our time. If you think this 
behavior is OK, leave as it is. As I wrote, I will continue to 
regenerate the desktop file when I will find these kind of "issues" 
because for me this is the best and clean solution.

Thanks,

PS. Just for the record, this init file is sufficient to have the new 
font in the first frame restored by desktop file:

$ cat init.el
(add-to-list 'initial-frame-alist '(font . "Source Code Pro 13"))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "Source Code Pro 13"))

(setq desktop-base-file-name "~/.emacs.d/desktop")

(setq desktop-base-lock-name "~/.emacs.d/desktop.lock")

(desktop-save-mode 1)
