Here is what RMS said about the exact same fix some days ago; please
read the previous articles in this thread for a discussion on this
subject:

If the font family of the default face is changed with
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "fixed")
then this does not change the face's font for subsequent frames, as can
be seen with the evaluation of (face-font 'default) in the first frame
and in a second, created with C-x 5 2, respectively.

I found that that call to set_lface_from_font_name was
clobbering the family that had come from the new-frame default.
