I've just tried both, and see the following: (set-frame-font "Sans-Serif-10") works fine, but: (set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :family "Sans-Serif") does not (it uses some random font instead); using "Sans Serif" does work with set-face-attribute. So it looks like there's a bug somewhere (but we should fix that, not kludge around it). -Miles -- Yo mama's so fat when she gets on an elevator it HAS to go down.
