    To do something to make the whole thing more usable, one can simply  
    ensure that on each operating system the local standard font  
    selection user interface is used. All systems offer some standard  
    dialog to do that, and it would be a good idea if users can specify  
    the lists with attributes in customization buffers as well, with the  
    right widget.

I don't think we should be rigid about doing this--we need to consider
the suitability of each such interface for Emacs.  But in general
I agree that is a good direction to go in.

I don't know whether Xt offers any font-selection dialog.
Does it?
