Faces have both a `font' property (which specifies a fontset or
a specific font) and a `family' property.
Typically the `font' is set once and for all in the `default' face
and is not touched by any other face: they set their `family'
property instead.

For some reason, the `default' face initializes its `family' property
not to `unspecified' but to the name of the `font', which will thus
stupidly override any other family setting in the fontset.  I think
that's the bug.
