23.0.60; new frames ignore set-default-font

[Jim Hunziker]

I am using the Xft font backend and Emacs from CVS.  I am using the
Andale Mono-13 font from msttcorefonts.

When using the setting (set-default-font "Andale Mono-13") in my
.emacs file, new frames created with M-x 5 2 don't use the default
font.  (The initial frame does use the font.)

Setting the X resource for the Emacs font doesn't exhibit this
problem.

In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.4)
 of 2008-04-28 on wec-dev
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.70101000
