Thanks for testing.

Eli, the patch as it stands is not suitable for pushing to emacs-27,
since it breaks the macOS build, which doesnʼt have a
gui_default_font_parameter function. As far as I can tell (and have
tested :-) ), we can get away with a dummy one, since there is only
one font backend on macOS. If you agree, this is what the complete
patch looks like:
