[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi all,

I've customized my fonts like this:

(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 "Source Code Pro Medium" :foundry "outline" :slant normal :weight medium :height 90 :width normal))))
 '(fixed-pitch ((t (:inherity default)))))

Emacs from master (3e23494394) ignores these settings and starts with
Arial which looks likte this:

[arial.png (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 5 (text/plain, inline)]

My last build (41b1fa05c7) works as expected.  To reproduce:

1) Make a minimal init file with the code above
2) Start emacs

This is on Win10 with Msys2.

Best, Arash

Yes, it's fixed.  Many thanks for the quick fix.  I'm closing this
report.
