The description of face attribute :font is incomprehensible.

It says that the value should be a "font object".  What is that, you
ask?  Well, it says to see node `Font Selection' to find out.  But that
node says nothing about a "font object".

I have no idea what it is, that is, what possible values attribute :font
can have.  I know about the frame parameter `font', whose value is an
XLFD string (AFAICT).  But I have no idea what :font can be set to.

Not only that, but if I try to guess from using `M-x customize-face',
there is no `Font' attribute.  There are only attributes `Font Family'
and `Font Foundry'.

Please give us a clue what :font is - what forms its value takes.
