The `C-h...' commands are one of the main entries to information, and to customize, as well. Shouldn't users be able to find `describe-face' when they do `C-h C-h'? Yes, if we can figure out a binding for it. I don't have a great suggestion for the C-h binding. (Perhaps `T' for "typeface"?) For coherence, it should be a lower-case letter. The available ones are g, o, u, x, y, z. None seems particularly approproate, but perhaps g is a little better than the others since it can stand for "graphics". Would someone like to do this, and ack? 2. Shouldn't `C-h i' be in the `C-h C-h' list? Granted, it is not for quick help, but I see `C-h C-h' as I kind of help entry menu, and `C-h i' is an important entry point. It is already in the list, looks like.
