Here are a bunch of scenarios, most of them pretty odd. I was primarily testing scenario number 2.
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 110 :font "Inconsolata_dz") in a init file, everything works as I'd expect it to work.
1. If I put this in my init file and start Emacs, during startup it blinks to a weird font (narrow window, narrow characters), but then finishes startup with a window that looks reasonable (both the size of the window and the shape of characters). 'M-x describe-face RET default' reports "Inconsolata_dz" as family.
2. I start 'emacs -Q' and evaluate (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 105 :family "Inconsolata_dz") in *scratch*. I get that weird-looking font that blinks briefly in scenario 1. 'M-x describe-face RET default' reports "Ubuntu Condensed" as family.
3. I start from the end of 2. and press 'C-x 5 2'. The new window pops up with reasonable-looking font and size. 'M-x describe-face' reports "Inconsolata_dz" as family.
4. I start with 'emacs -Q' and evaluate (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 110 :family "Cascadia Mono"). This works fine on the first try without splitting frames, 'M-x describe-face' reports "Cascadia Mono". Same with "Inconsolata LGC".
5. I start my regular init script with (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 105 :family "Inconsolata LGC") in it. Then in scratch evaluate (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 105 :family "Inconsolata_dz"). I get another funny-looking font. 'M-x describe-face' says it's "Purisa".
6. I start with 'emacs -Q' and evaluate (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 110 :family "Cascadia Mono") there. Works as expected. Then I evaluate (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 105 :family "Inconsolata_dz") -- the font size changes slightly (downward), but the face remains the same. 'M-x describe-face' corroborates that.
I think the problems here are: - Inconsolata_dz only works in frames created later.- Setting font attributes may result in unpredictable results, they depend on the previous font spec. Even though the explicit attributes are all rewritten to new values every time. - Unknown font families fail silently (switching to something else under the hood). Perhaps it was also the case before, but it adds to the confusion.
