The font-family stuff is a list because you can specify multiple
families
of fonts, in order of preference, in case one of the families doesn't have
the attributes you want (ie: if there is no bold courier, it could fall
back to trying bold arial). Do _not_ change this behaviour.
font.el is part of Emacs/W3. :) The CSS code relies on this. And it
should be part of our new font model.
I understand why font-family is a list. I don't understand how the
snippet of code that I quoted from cus-face.el can work with a list.
Hence my question about whether and how this works under X.
Jonathan.
