emacs question

My .emacs file contains the line

(set-default-font "7x13")

and indeed whenever I load a file into emacs, it comes up in 7x13.

But if I do C-x 5 2 to get another emacs window, the file in that window appears in a much larger and uglier font with inelegant serifs. How do I really set the default font?

[note: I don't run emacs-client, I edit files with 'emacs foo' on the command-line, so often I have lots of separate emacs processes; also, by 'window' I mean a window-system window rather than whatever emacs's internal jargon 'window' means]

I have a feeling 7x13 is usually in X-land an alias to the appropriate font, anyway...
