Under Win2K, the following hunk of elisp works for me in a -vanilla XEmacs
built from the 21.4.5 windows sources, but does not work for me against the
latest 21.4.6 windows sources (according to the CVS tag windows-21-4):
(custom-set-faces
'(default ((t (:family "Andale Mono"
:size 9
:bold nil
:italic nil
:background "wheat"))) t))
The background color changes, but the family remains Courier New and the font size remains
10 point.
Thanks,
vin

I have updated the installer downloads to 21.4.6-rc1. Please try them out
and let me know of any problems in time for the real 21.4.6 release. The
changes over and above vanilla 21.4.6rc1 are these:
to XEmacs 21.4.6 "Common Lisp (Windows)"
- Fixed yet more problems with URL handling under cygwin.
- Cancel on the directory dialog now works.
- The directory toolbar icon now invokes the directory dialog.
- Fixed problems with saving options under customize.
- Made native registry entries match the installer.
- toggle-buffer-file-coding-system now marks the buffer as modified.
- Fixed mousewheel lockups.
- Netinstaller updated to support kit revisions.
It may take a while for the mirrors to catch up.

Of course it would help if I tried a font that was actually installed on my
machine...
Under Win2K, the following hunk of elisp works for me in a -vanilla
XEmacs
built from the 21.4.5 windows sources, but does not work for me
against the
latest 21.4.6 windows sources (according to the CVS tag windows-21-4):
So weirder and weirder, this works for me when in a custom file but not
with -vanilla....
<grumpy>
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.

Depends on if I can reproduce under Unix. If I can't, ain't no
patches from me gonna happen soon. I know nothing about how Custom
handles Windows fonts.
If you don't need the functionality the patch provides, I'd suggest
reverting the patch in the Windows branch. The Unix platforms most
definitely do need the functionality.

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.

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