1. Subject line says it all. Please index face `default'. It is the
most important face, and the default face is an important concept when
trying to understand faces in general.
2. There are also buffer-local displays of face `default'. These too
should be indexed.
3. This text in node `Face Remapping' is misleading, and should be fixed:
";; Increase the size of the `default' face by 50%:"
The size of the face is not increased at all here. All that is happening
is face remapping, so face `default' gets displayed larger in the current
buffer. The face itself is a global thing, and its size is not changed
by this operation.

I don't think that sounds very useful. I can't imagine anybody going to
the index to look up "default".

Read the report. They would be going to look up "default face",
not "default".
You cannot imagine much, it seems. You also could not imagine
that any code outside the distributed Emacs code would ever
make use of `read-face-name'.
Face `default' is an important Emacs concept. It is "unimaginable"
that it not be indexed.
