The function Ffont_spec accepts a :name argument, but this is not
documented in the docstring.  Is this intentional, or an oversight?

AFAICT, the only way for a Lisp function to obtain a font-spec from a
font name is to do (font-spec :name name), so I think this key should
definitely be documented.
