I find it perfectly reasonable.  "nil" does not mean "don't log the
fonts" but rather "the font-log contains nothing yet".  As you say: just
like buffer-undo-list.

If one can think up a good name ending with "-list", that would probably
help a bit.  I am not sure it is worth the trouble, though.  It is not
like this is exactly a user-accessible variable that people will change
and customize all the time.
