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.
