Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2019 04:32:24 +0300

When using a build with Cairo, putting

(set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 113 :family "Inconsolata LGC")

into the init script doesn't have any effect.

Evaluating (face-attribute 'default :family) in the new session after 
that still returns "Ubuntu Mono".

However, if I evaluate the set-face-attribute call form later in the new
frame, the font changes successfully.
