But it *was* possible because it worked in b65 and earlier. If the font already exists we shouldn't touch it.[1] Would it be possible to defer all settings of fonts and to defer the splash screen until *after* .emacs is run? I guess I should look up what changed between b65 and b66 that could cause the effect we're seeing. (I need more hours in a day!)
