By the way, I did not realize that the docstring of 'set-face-attribute' says nothing about the evaluation order of its arguments. I suggest the attached patch.Are we sure that having order-dependent behavior is a good idea?I did not design that function, that's how it works. But given how intricate the face machinery is, I'm not sure it's possible to do much better.
It does feel a little odd, though. Could you explain why :family does get evaluated first, but :font does not? And yet, it's better recommended to use :font?
I'm not saying these are regressions to be fixed now (Emacs 29 is too near), but maybe a better design is possible and not too difficult to transition to later.
Since all args are available at the time of evaluation, wouldn't it be better to handle :font and/or :family before all the others?You may have seen in the attached patch that :family is indeed handled before all other attributes, but not :font.Can you please confirm that the recipes you sent are working as expected when you place the :font attribute before all other attributes?
They seem to, thank you. Except for the frame-height-shrinking one, but that's a separate story.
