The only real change is that now customize is used to make the change for the default font (the other code was not removed as it is steal needed to update the other faces). In this is case it is a reall custom bug. In xemacs -vanilla (custom-set-faces '(default ((t (:family "Lucidatypewriter"))) t)) produces a white background! Jan
