emacs -Q

M-: (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "-outline-Lucida Console-normal-normal-normal-mono-14-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")

That correctly sets the font for the current frame.  However, it does
NOT set the font for future frames, as the doc says it should and as it
does in previous Emacs versions (e.g. 24.3).

Similarly, this does not work anymore:

M-: (set-face-attribute 'default t :font "-outline-Lucida Console-normal-normal-normal-mono-14-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")
