What is the important difference between
(set-frame-font "URW Chancery L-12" nil t)
and
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "URW Chancery L-12")
In what circumstances would one need one over the other ?

I am also unsure of what the font declaration should be
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "URW Chancery L-12")
or
(set-face-attribute 'default nil
:family "URW Chancery L" :height 120)
or something else

This is documented in the doc string of set-face-attribute.
Specifically, :family is more general than :font.

Basically, no difference. set-frame-font calls set-face-attribute
internally.

set-frame-font can control what happens to the frame size, otherwise
there's no significant difference.
