and despite Jan's protestations reverting cus-face.el to the 21.4.5 version
cures this, so it really *is* Jan/Stephen's patch and I assume they will do
something about it this time.

I am afraid you must have misunderstood me (I was already wondering
what you meant with that short reply). Your mail contained 2 problems,
the first of which I am still quite convinced is not "mine".
However this particular problem is[1]. However I cannot understand what
is happening. As I tried to make clear, I had hoped the similar
failure under gtk would help, but as you said the fix for seems not to
apply to windows case.
As of today the policy barriers barring me from getting new XEmacsen at
work have been cleared up, so I hope I can get a windows build up and
running again. It really needs somebody to edebug through
face-set-family/size on windows and see what is happening.
Until then it would be really helpful (as it would be for all these
problems) if somebody could post before and after values of
(specifier-spec-list (face-font 'default))
and the same with 'default replaced with font customize is trying to
modify if different. What _should_ be happening is that the
after-value is like the before value but for every locale+tag
combination there should be a new spec which is the same but for 1.
there is a 'custom tag added and 2. the requested modifications have
been made.

[1] Or rather I think my patch is exposing some other problem that
was lingering unnoticed.
