This probably means something else resets the font after startup.  Do
you have anything else in your ~/.emacs, besides the font setting
saved by the above recipe? could those additional customizations be
the culprit?  Or maybe you have some system resources that require
specific fonts to be used by Emacs?

FWIW, I cannot reproduce this, the saved font setting is used when I
restart Emacs.

Thanks.
