customize-face not working: seems to apply to frame-face |
Date: |
Wed, 27 May 2009 20:40:37 -0400 |
Emacs -Q
(set-face-attribute 'default nil
:height 130
:family "Lucida Grande")
;; switches default face
(customize-face 'default)
;; switch back manually to Monaco
(make-frame-command) ;; C-x 5 2
;; the new frame is shown in the Lucida face. Why?
The same thing works as I would expect in Emacs 22. I would generally
assume that `customize-face' applies to faces in future frames as well.
If this is no bug, I think an entry in NEWS under "Faces" would be
appropriate....
Cc'ing Bob Halley who isolated this (but doesn't think it's a bug).
PS.: text-scale-mode is mentioned twice in NEWS.

I disagree that this is a bug. I have now taken another look at the
code, and my earlier conclusion stands. Modifications to internal Lisp
faces (via set-face-attribute) take precedence over the effect of face
specs, so the behavior is working as intended and as documented
(including in the docstring of set-face-attribute).
The trunk now contains a change to face-spec-set which allows it to be
more easily called from Lisp code to override defface specs. If you
want to modify faces from Lisp, use that rather than set-face-attribute.
Don't re-open this bug based on uninformed opinion. Thanks.
