By the way, could you make the `open' function of each

(frame-parameter nil 'font).

Is depending on the format of the font name returned by frame-parameter widespread? XLFD has always been a poor fit for Windows fonts, and I am reluctant to make a change like this that might cause users to beleive that XLFD is still the prefered format for font names in Emacs.
