So to make a face in Emacs 21 now, you do:
(make-face 'foo)
(set-face-attribute 'foo nil
:family "lucidatypewriter"
:width 'normal
:height 200
:weight 'normal
:foreground "red"
:background "pink"
:strike-through t)
Well, I almost like this setup. The thing I don't like is a face
having all these properties. A property list like this should be
recognized as an instantiator for a font specifier.
