font question

[Chip Coldwell]

I have this in my .emacs

(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(default ((t (:family "DejaVu Sans Mono" :height 100))))
 '(variable-pitch ((t (:family "Liberation Sans" :height 100)))))

and it seems to do what I want (although the font I see on screen
looks a lot bigger to my eye than 10pt that is implied by the
:height).  However, if I open a new frame with C-5-2, it uses the
default values for both fixed and variable-width fonts.

I can set 

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "-unknown-DejaVu Sans 
Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-m-0-iso8859-1"))

and that sets the fixed-width font correctly, but it does not fix the
variable-width fonts.

It seems to me that custom-set-faces should do more than set the faces
for the initial frame; it should set the faces for all subsequently
created frames also, no?
