Continuing little experiments to better undestand the relation among
fonts, faces, frames etc, i noticed
that  if i have 2 frames (A and B) and  i evaluate from ielm in frame A
(set-frame-font "liberation serif" nil nil) . when i check the default
face's font i see different values in frame A from frame B.

So it seems that default face is a frame's variable.

i mean every frame has its own default face? Is that right?
As you can see after "C-h f set-frame-font":

“...
If FRAMES is nil, apply the font to the selected frame only.
...”

So the second nil in your expression means you set a font only for the
current frame A.


So default face is not a global emacs session variable. It's an
attribute per frame.
I thought you were talking about frame fonts.  AFAIU there is only one
‘default’ face (defined in "faces.el"), if that's what you mean.


But the assumption that there is only one global default face contradicts with what i see.

In two frames (of the same emacs session) M-x describe-face (default) gives me different font families ( i changed in each frame the font with set-frame-font.)
