Make font chosen by S-mouse-1 permanent

Make font chosen by S-mouse-1 permanent

[Sam Peterson]

Hello, I'm having a time figuring out what I can do to make the font
chosen in the mouse menu by shift mouse 1 permanent for all frames
each time I start Emacs.  I've tried customizing the default face but
haven't had much luck.

	(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font .  
"fontset-10pt_lucida_sans_typewriter"))

or such. There is also initial-frame-alist. Both have much more options.

Cool, thank you! I knew about that variable but didn't have a good
idea of what to put in it, the following did the trick nicely.

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "fixed"))
