"nil" does not mean "don't log the fonts" but rather "the font-log contains nothing yet". As you say: just like buffer-undo-list. As a user, I pay attention to the command, `font-show-log', and figure that the variable follows it. The variable `buffer-undo-list' is wrong, too; nil should turn the feature off not on. I understand the list contains nothing until you enable it; but that is irrelevant. Fortunately, neither variable is evaluated often and their default global values can get away with being t. -- Robert J.
