Subject: bug#1078: 23.0.60; font faces setting ignored by emacsclient run against --daemon
Date: Fri,  3 Oct 2008 16:53:30 +0200 (CEST)

  [ Disclaimer: I'm not sure this bug is legitimate, as it is about an
  emacs feature (--daemon) which is not even yet documented. Feel free
  to close it as bogus; I'm reporting it in the hope it is useful
  feedback ]

  I'm routinely using "emacsclient -c" against a main Emacs which have
  a (server-start) in its ~/.emacs to start the Emacs server by
  default. Everything is fine in that setting.

  However, if instead of using a main Emacs I use an Emacs demonized
  with --daemon, then the clients started by "emacsclient -c" start
  properly, but they ignore setting about font faces. 

  For reference, the customized faces I'm using have been set using
  Custom, here is the relevant sexp from 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 (:inherit nil :stipple nil :background "white"
  :foreground "black" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil
  :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 90
  :width normal :foundry "monospace" :family "monospace"))))
