Although I'm not 100% sure what that code is doing (Customize is
completely foreign to me) I've pushed the code to master under David's

Fix font-panel on NS (bug#43480)

So I'm closing this bug (and I guess the millions of merged bugs we've
accrued over the years).

I customise the font in Emacs.app by using ns-popup-font-panel and then
Menu > Options > Save Options. I check the custom file to find the no
options related to font are saved. I seem mto recall that font setting
is supposed to be saved.
