changes to "set default font" menu item is not sticking #72

Closed xdavidliu closed 2 years ago

xdavidliu commented 6 years ago

When using emacs on linux, I usually change the font to something larger and more readable by doing

M-(back tick) then D for "set default font", and finally M-(back tick) then o for "Save options".

This usually writes (custom-set-faces '(default ((t ...) to my .emacs file, where "..." includes the font family, size, etc, and the font setting shows up correctly next time I reopen emacs. Note that custom-set-faces has an argument '(default ((t ...)

However, when using the prebuilt version on macos from emacsformacos.com, doing the above results in the font setting only sticking during that instance of emacs; when I close and reopen, the default setting comes back. Additionally, the (custom-set-faces) call written to .emacs has no argument at all.

I'm using the following:

GNU Emacs 25.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0, NS appkit-1265.21 Version 10.9.5 (Build 13F1911)) of 2017-09-12

This is probably not a build issue.
