(elisp) Low-Level Font says this about `font-spec' keyword `:name':
The font name (a string), in either XLFD, Fontconfig, or GTK
format. *Note Font Specification Options: (emacs)Font X.
There is no explanation or cross reference to understand what those 3
formats are, and without that info this description is useless. The
cross ref that is there takes you to a node about font specification on
the command line (for X Window only?).
Please _specify_ the available formats for the `:name' value. Or if
they are in fact already clearly specified somewhere, then please cross
reference that/those location(s).
