I have an extensively customised set of faces and use a different font than the default. This works fine in the initial emacs frame. However, when I create a new frame (either from File->New Frame or from within e.g. the VM package), the new frame does not honour *some* of the faces, e.g. the background settings. Curiously (to me), some of the faces I;ve set *are* honoured - e.g. the modeline and the foreground. The new frame has the default emacs font. This leads to having to manually re-load the elisp file with the face definitions in it every time I create a new frame - which I'd rather not do. Can anyone suggest how to get around this?
