You have quoted the whole list and so :height gets the value of
'(string-to-number face-height) rather than the result of evaluating
that as a function invocation. Go re-read the part of the textbook
that talks about basic Lisp syntax.



Possible solution:

    `(:family "URW Chancery L" :height ,(string-to-number face-height))
