Subject: bug#14629: 24.3.50; (elisp) `Face Attributes', :font -> "font object"
Date: Sat, 15 Jun 2013 23:01:38 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ae0d1ded-94c5-48eb-ac1a-ed991cbb17e8@default> (raw)
The description of face attribute :font is incomprehensible.
It says that the value should be a "font object". What is that, you
ask? Well, it says to see node `Font Selection' to find out. But that
node says nothing about a "font object".
I have no idea what it is, that is, what possible values attribute :font
can have. I know about the frame parameter `font', whose value is an
XLFD string (AFAICT). But I have no idea what :font can be set to.
Not only that, but if I try to guess from using `M-x customize-face',
there is no `Font' attribute. There are only attributes `Font Family'
and `Font Foundry'.
Please give us a clue what :font is - what forms its value takes.
