bug#9646: 24.0.90; Daemon does not heed desired font

[Eythan Weg]

I start emacs --daemon  with the .emacs content just this:

(setq initial-frame-alist '((font . "DejaVu Sans")))

Now visit a file with hebrew text.  The hebrew chars are shown using
freefont.  Do the same without --daemon and the font is chosen
correctly.
