I had a few difficulties getting everything straight with fonts,
fontsets and faces.  I use Emacs 23.0.60 (from CVS) and I found using
.Xdefaults a much better way to control the fonts.


,----
| !Emacs
| Emacs*font:	-xos4-terminus-medium-*-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
| Emacs*cursorColor:	blue
| Emacs*foreground:	grey77
| Emacs*background:	Black
| !Emacs*fullscreen:	fullheight
`----

Then I just turned off font-family on most of my faces.


Do you want the same default font on every frame, or just certain frames?
