    Currently the -fn command line argument accepts 3 forms of font
    specification; GTK, Fontconfig and XLFD, so there is no reason why any
    other place where fonts are specified as strings could not do the same.

I am glad it is feasible to handle all three.  My suggestion is to
make a function `set-face-font' to do that, and get rid of the `font'
frame parameter.
