Doc string of font-info no longer describes the third element it
returns, CHARSET. It used to be described as "CHARSET is the charset
displayed by the font".
describe-font-internal no longer displays the CHARSET information for
a font. It used to be described: e.g., "ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))".
In GNU Emacs 23.0.92.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2009-03-30 on SOFT-MJASON
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600

Also, it seems that what is called "size" in the doc of both `font-info' and
`describe-font' would be better called "width".
From `font-info':
"SIZE is the maximum bound width of the font"
^^^^^
`describe-font', in particular, should use "width":
full name:
-outline-Lucida Console-normal-r-normal-normal-14-105-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1
size: 8
height: 14
baseline-offset: 0
relative-compose: 0
Also, why isn't command `describe-font' mentioned in the Emacs manual? That
would be a good place to mention it and explain what each of its components
means.

`font-face' no longer seems to return a CHARSET value.

I'm guessing ditto, but I haven't checked.

It now says "SIZE is the pixelsize of the font". I think "pixelsize" is
the technical term here, so while "width" may be more intuitive, I think
"pixelsize" is probably more informative.
