I had a custom-set-faces that I had used in an emacs startup file that was especially for when I launched latex files but I'm in the process of merging and updating my .emacs file so I don't launch a seperate start-up process for the latex file. I want to set it so this custom face is set only when latex mode is on. Since it is a custom face I don't think it is wise to set a LaTeX-mode-hook but I know there should be a way to do this. I only change the font and the text size basically for when I'm typing. I would also like this enabled for text-mode if possible. Attache the custom face below.
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :background "white" :foreground "black" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 98 :width normal :foundry "unknown" :family "DejaVu Sans")))))
Instead of custom-set-faces you can set it with set-face-attribute, but it will still change the face "in all buffers".
(set-face-attribute 'default nil
:inherit nil
:stipple nil
:background "white"
:foreground "black"
:inverse-video nil
:box nil
:strike-through nil
:overline nil
:underline nil
:slant 'normal
:weight 'normal
:height 98
:width 'normal
:foundry "unknown"
:family "DejaVu Sans")
You should identify the right faces and only set them, don't set default. To identify which face is at point use this
