bug#1802: 23.0.60; (with-ns) completion of font names does not work |

Observed Behavior
=================
1. M-x set-frame-font
Prompts for a font name, but offers no completions.
(Is the user meant to guess?)
2. M-x set-face-font
Prompts for a font name, but offers only the following three values
as possible completions:
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-default
-apple-Monaco-medium-normal-normal-Regular-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-
startup
-ns-*-*-*-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-standard
Expected Behavior
=================
I would expect a complete list of the fonts current installed on the
system to be offered for completion. This is the behavior on Windows
and Linux as well as (Carbon)Emacs 22.
Note
====
It's not that font selection is completely broken. e.g. Choosing a
font from the font panel presented after selecting "Options >> Set
Defalt Font..." does work after a fashion: it sets the default font
for all windows of the currently focused frame. (Not, however, those
of other frames.)
Also, the following elisp code, will work:
(set-face-attribute 'default nil
:background "#ffffff"
:foundry "apple"
:family "consolas"
:foreground "#000000"
:height 120
:slant 'normal
:weight 'normal
:width 'semi-condensed))
