In emacswiki (1) i read:

To change the default font for new (non special-display) frames, put either of these in your init file <http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/InitFile#init_file>:


   |(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . | /|FONT|/ |))|

   |(set-face-attribute 'default t :font | /|FONT|/ |))|

To change the default font for the current frame, as well as future frames, put either of these in your init file:


   |(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font | /|FONT|/ |))|

   |(set-frame-font | /|FONT|/ |nil t)|

|
I understand how when we are in the middle of an emacs session it'd help to have an option to change the
font only of the future-new frames.
|

|But i dont understand the difference of using the 't', or 'nil' option in an .init file when starting a new emacs session . Doesnt it hold than in that case all frames are newone making 't' superfluous in .init file?
