Subject: 23.0.90; emacs-snapshot has ugly fonts when using set-default-font elisp function
Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2009 00:32:28 -0500

Using emacs-snapshot-20090207, the text display becomes very ugly when
set via:

(set-default-font "DejaVu Sans Mono-10")

However, if the font is set via the menu bar: Options->Set Default Font

then the fonts look good (i.e., with proper anti-aliasing).
