I'm not sure if this could be related, but I have been having problems
with fonts on NT for the last couple of weeks. Today I managed to track
it down to the following change:


2000-09-08  Gerd Moellmann  <address@hidden>

        * faces.el (face-spec-set): Only face-spec-reset-face when
        ATTRS is non-nil.


On NT, this results in a situation where the ASCII font cannot be
changed after startup (I have not fully investigated how it affects
other character sets, but they do seem to work). I am not sure if this
problem exists on X as well, but judging by the code, I think it
might.
