Re: starting emacs with -fn 10x20 from .emacs

[Ryan Moszynski]

this method works to set the font on startup.  However, i use color-theme 
in .emacs to load my colors:

(require 'color-theme)
(color-theme-initialize)
(color-theme-aalto-light)

and when using: 

         (setq default-frame-alist '(
           (font                  . "10x20")
           ))


the color theme loads fine for the initial window, but then when i make a new 
emacs window with 'C-x 5 2' my color them doesn't load at least the 
background color properly.  

is there a way around this?

thanks,

ryan
