.default { font-family: courier; font-size: 13pt; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } I don't think that is useful in an Emacs context. It is no easier to type, no more concise, than a list of face attributes in Lisp syntax. Where would we possibly want to use it?
Nowhere indeed. Normal lists will do the job, and they are better and easier to handle than the strings used now.
To do something to make the whole thing more usable, one can simply ensure that on each operating system the local standard font selection user interface is used. All systems offer some standard dialog to do that, and it would be a good idea if users can specify the lists with attributes in customization buffers as well, with the right widget.
