They work for me with GNU Emacs 26.3 on Debian.
What happens if you go:
emacs -Q <filename>
? To rule your configuration out...
Best regards,

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.

So maybe change it to:
emacs-26.3 -fn "DejaVu Sans Mono-16" "$@"
so the command line parameters get passed on to emacs proper?

You can configure the font size inside Emacs as well.
Best regards,

I sympathize... maybe add something along these lines to your ~/.emacs
or ~/.emacs.d/init.el file:
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "DejaVu Sans Mono" :height 180)
You can play with the height to achieve what you want hopefully.
