Thanks,

I have replaced TeX-font-list by LaTeX-font-list and the problem
disappeared. Thank you for your kind help.

Note that the AucTeX info node "Font Specifiers" tells only about
"TeX-font-list" and not about "LaTeX-font-list". So, there is a problem
in documentation: I could never guess that the correct way of
customizing was using LaTeX-font-list instead of TeX-font-list based
only on documentation.

There is another problem in the same info node : One can read
-- Command: TeX-font ARG
But then, in the explanation there appear that the arguments of the
command are not ARG, but REPLACE and WHAT.

Furthermore, how comes that by explicitly invoking explicitly `M-x
LaTeX-mode', or `M-x normal-mode' (which accounts to the
same thing as a file local variable sets mode to latex mode in my case),
the customisation is activated in the non-master file.
According to your explanation (TeX-font-list being overwritten by
LaTeX-font-list), the customisation would never be activated at all.

For the same reason, your explanation is not sufficient to explain why
the customization is activated in
the first place for a master-file containing the "\documentclass{}"
statement.

VBR, and thanks again !

Vincent.
