I was almost lost in the labyrinth of codes to set the
default face attributes, but I at least found this prolem:

With Emacs 23 (pre-unicode-merge and the trunk),
  (custom-set-faces '(default ((t (:family "courier")))))
instantly change the current frame to use courier, but
  (face-attribute 'default :family t)
returns `unspecified'.

On the other hand, with Emacs 22,
  (custom-set-faces '(default ((t (:family "courier")))))
doesn't change the current frame, and
  (face-attribute 'default :family t)
returns "courier".

Which is the correct behaviour?
