emacs-snapshot and font specifications

[Sebastian Luque]

Hi,

I've recently started using the Debian testing emacs-snapshot package
(version 1:20060301-1), and was able to migrate all my customizations from
my previous Emacs 21.3 version.  However, I'm having trouble getting the
font parameter for separate frames for things like Man, to do what they
were doing with the previous version.  I had the font parameter specified
as this:

---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->---

(custom-set-variables

[...]

 '(Man-frame-parameters (quote ((width . 115) (font . "10x20"))))
 '(special-display-frame-alist (quote ((width . 80) (font . "10x20"))))

[...]
)

---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->---


It seems as if something has changed in the way this parameter needs to be
specified, as neither the short form of the font (e.g. "10x20") nor the
long one
(e.g. "-xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--20-200-72-72-c-100-iso8859-1) are
taken into account when calling M-x manual-entry or functions that use the
special-display-frame-alist.  What has changed in the way this parameter
should be specified?

Thanks in advance,
