bug#2824: 23.0.91; font-selection weirdness with `set-frame-attribute' of default face |

Emacs seems to use different fonts to display ascii vs. non-ascii
characters when one uses `set-frame-attribute' to set the default font.
To reproduce (using X):
(1) In a shell, evaluate the following commands:
xrdb -remove
echo '*Font: Dejavu Sans Mono-11' > /tmp/.Xdefaults
echo '(set-face-attribute '\''default nil :family "Liberation Mono")' >
/tmp/.emacs
HOME=/tmp emacs -no-splash -eval '(insert "café")'&
(2) Position the cursor over the "c" in "café", and use C-u C-x =
Notice it says that the font used is "Liberation Mono", which is
the correct default font.
(3) Position the cursor over the "é" in "café", and use C-u C-x =
Notice that it says the font used is "Dejavu Sans Mono", which is
_not_ the correct default font, but rather was the startup font.
This problem only seems to occur if one uses `set-face-attribute' to set
the default font. If one uses `set-frame-font' (etc), it seems to work
correctly; e.g., try using the shell command:
echo '(set-frame-font "Liberation Mono")' > /tmp/.emacs
and then start emacs as in the original recipe; the "é" should
correctly be displayed using the current default font.
Thanks,
-Miles
