The same happens.

But the problem was that I had changed "emacs" in /usr/local/bin to
read: 'emacs-26.3 -fn "DejaVu Sans Mono-16"'

Changing my emacs  in /usr/local/bin back to a simple pointer to
emacs-26.3 fixes the problem.

BUT I am 80 and cannot read the default type face any more and although
C-x C-+/-/0 work it is necessary to apply that to every file called -
the commands are nor persistent.
