set-face-attribute when starting daemon

set-face-attribute when starting daemon

[Zhongwei Yao]

Hi, all,
I run emacs --daemon into this error on mac os x:
Error: server did not start correctly

and I find it is caused by my following configuration:
(set-face-attribute
   'default nil :font "Courier New 15"))

I try to run with emacs --daemon -debug-init, but it prints nothing.

However, if I run emacs directly (without --daemon), it would give not any
error.

Thanks,
Zhongwei

Don't do that if daemonp returns non-nil.  There are no frames when
the daemon starts, and so no faces to change their attributes.

Thanks. I add set-face-attribute to after-make-frame-functions hook.
