Customizing new frames

[Denis Bueno]

I have certain font settings set using `set-default-font', in my
.emacs. Specifically,

(set-default-font "-*-clean-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*")

When I open a new frame (C-x 5 2), it's like my font settings don't
get "remembered." Is there a way to set the default font for the first
frame and every subsequent frame?

Assuming you haven't otherwise frobbed `default-frame-alist' or
`initial-frame-alist', you should be able to do something like this:

(setq default-frame-alist
'((font . "-*-clean-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*)))
(setq initial-frame-alist default-frame-alist)

Set the font in `default-frame-alist'.

You need to add your change to variable `default-frame-alist', and then save
that variable (using Customize).

See http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/CustomizingAndSaving for an
explanation (scroll down to section Setting and Saving Frame Parameters).

See command `set-frame-alist-parameter-from-frame' in library
http://www.emacswiki.org/elisp/frame-cmds.el, which you can use to easily
transfer your font setting to `default-frame-alist'.

HTH,
