| Face Attribute Functions
------------------------
| 
|    You can modify the attributes of an existing face with the following
| functions.  If you specify FRAME, they affect just that frame;
| otherwise, they affect all frames as well as the defaults that apply to
| new frames.
| 
|  - Function: set-face-attribute face frame &rest arguments
|      This function sets one or more attributes of face FACE for frame
|      FRAME.  If FRAME is `nil', it sets the attribute for all frames,
|      and the defaults for new frames.
| 
|      The extra arguments ARGUMENTS specify the attributes to set, and
|      the values for them.  They should consist of alternating attribute
|      names (such as `:family' or `:underline') and corresponding values.
|      Thus,
| 
|           (set-face-attribute 'foo nil
|                               :width :extended
|                               :weight :bold
|                               :underline "red")
| 
|      sets the attributes `:width', `:weight' and `:underline' to the
|      corresponding values.

In the set-face-attributes example, the values for the attributes bold and
extended should be preceded by a single quote, not a colon.
