Nope. What I need is "-*-*-blah-*-*-" as *output*. xlfd:Sans doesn't
help. So I say (font-name font) and it returns
"-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1", it's the value I' actually
seeking for, so I can't input it.

As far as I can see there's no function for doing so. Also I'm not sure how to convert
the font-variable (which is a repv) to a `Font' type or XFontSet (would be better).
