The user supplies a *list* of fonts. The code then goes through those
fonts in turn, checking (via find-font) whether the font exists, and
if it does, then sets it as the frame font and adds it to
default-frame-alist for the future.

The point here is for users who want to move their config between
machines, and don't always have the same fonts installed - so they
would typically put their preferred font first in the list, with
fallback options following.
