Taking information on typeface for emacs by simply capturing from the x-re= source database is defective. Because the generally accepted recommendation in t= o use customisations from within Emacs, it goes to reason that emacs should not = enforce the x-resource database by default. Such settings should be given to thos= e who know what they are doing, allowing them to specify the x-resource database= information they want emacs to use. But the location of the settings must be made in = a way that experienced users actually specify.
