Neither the Elisp manual (node `Attribute Functions') nor the doc string says what form the string FONT must or may take. 2. The manual says that this command sets the :font attribute. The doc string says instead that it sets attributes :family, :foundry, :width, :height, :weight, and :slant. Which is it? 3. #1 is all the more imporatnt because the doc string of `x-list-fonts' says that it returns a list of strings that are "suitable as arguments to `set-face-font'. Really? Just what kind of strings are so suitable? I think, but am not sure, that FONT must be in XLFD form. Whatever the acceptable form(s), the doc needs to spell this out.
