Subject: 23.0.60; ignored font statement in initial-frame-alist
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:05:49 -0500

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

With the latest emacs-snapshot below, this customization (customize
interface extract):

 '(initial-frame-alist (quote ((top . 0) (left . 0) (width . 125) (height . 51) (tool-bar-lines . 1) (menu-bar-lines . 1) (scroll-bar-width . 15) (font . "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-15"))))

no longer works (used to since Xft introduction); the 'font' statement
is now ignored, and the initial-frame starts with whatever is in
default-frame-alist.



If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
