Why is it important to know? Users aren't supposed to specify contradictory setting via several different means of doing so. Anyway, some information about this can be found in "Startup Summary" node of the ELisp reference manual, which describes the order in which the various stages of the initialization happen. > But the question can also be generalized to other properties not > only for fonts. There's no generalized answer.
