Re: Default font 'default have no corresponding variable

[Richard Stallman]

    Maybe I got this wrong, I thought that there usually were a variable 
    with the same name as the face and that the variable value was the face 
    symbol. But maybe that is just used for faces defined specific uses in 
    emacs libraries?

Maybe we should work harder to document the fact that we do not want
such variables.  Where would such info have reached you better?

How about if we put comments in and among the variable definitions in
font-lock.el saying not to imitate that practice.
