I don't have a function named `print-specifier'. If you're talking
about the internal thingie that would be used for something like
(format "%s" specifier-variable), most functions that might print
something large or recursive have such restrictions. The purpose of
those functions is to identify the object, not to browse it.
I've got an object browser sort of written up. I think that's really
what we need for this kind of object.
The most recent version is pretty old, but you can get it at

Will this show what face is being used at point? The
font-instance-at-point is really cool, and I've wanted something like
that for a while to see what fonts were actually being used. Now I want
to know what face is in use, so I can customize it.
Although perhaps my problem is a bug in setting faces. When I'm using
Gnus, I want to use a different default face (Bitstream Vera Mono).
Setting the default face causes many to change, but not all. So I've
been manually changing the different faces to be what I want. Perhaps
that's not right, or I have set up the other fonts incorrectly.
