"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. If one can think up a good name ending with "-list", that would probably help a bit. I am not sure it is worth the trouble, though. It is not like this is exactly a user-accessible variable that people will change and customize all the time. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
