Hi Juri:

In: 33.19.4 Properties with Special Meanings

Look at the `face` property values; there are 4 more apart from face
name (symbol or string).

In principle mouse-face accepts the same formats right? So I suppose
that cursor-face should also support them.

Currently in my code only the "symbol" alternative is supported. Adding
string is simple to implement, but I suppose there is some API I am not
aware of to support the other cases and I don't want to reinvent the
wheel.

Best,
Ergus
