Ok, I give up.  I think somebody should either remove the documentation
of 'face '(:font ...) completely so that people don't accidentally try
to do something with that form, or document it fully and/or fix bugs in
that area.

I went with

    (let ((face (make-face 'meme-face)))
      (set-face-font
       foo
       (format "-monotype-%s-normal-normal-condensed-*-%s-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1"
               (capitalize family)
               font-size))
      (insert (propertize string 'face foo))

instead, which is completely yucky, because I don't want to create that
face.

But it works, at least.
