--text follows this line--

I change the default font via "Easy Customization" and save it. The 
contents of the file
".emacs" is below.
{{{
(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables 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.
 )
(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 (:family "Nimbus Roman" :foundry "UKWN" :slant normal 
:weight normal :height 201 :width normal)))))
}}}

After I restart Emacs, the font shown is not the font I chose. Actually,
I see how Emacs changes the font I chose to another font promptly.

This bug appeared after upgrading from 24.5 to 25.1.

Possible workarounds are

    (define-key special-event-map [config-changed-event] #'ignore)

or

    (advice-add 'dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event :override #'ignore)

With workarounds available, and no GTK expert on board to help us find
a better fix, I don't think this problem should block the release of
Emacs 26.1.

Thanks.
