Hi,

I am running an (older) emacs snapshot 24.0.90.1 with the GTK frontend
and I have set (set-default-font "Inconsolata-12") in my .emacs. When I
create a new frame with M-x new-frame, the fresh frame will show a
different font, namely Ubuntu Mono which seems to be some default. Why
is set-default-font not enough and what should I use instead?

Kind regards,

Christian
