Thanks.  I meant more in terms of my earlier absence and not getting
around to debug and try putting together a patch for it myself. :-)

Hmm, not sure indeed: I always used :family and it seemed to work fine
so I never really questioned it.  I had a quick look at the relevant
parts of the manual(s) and I think their difference is a bit clearer
for me now.  That said, you're quite right, the following works nicely
with your patch, thanks!

    (set-face-attribute 'fixed-pitch nil
                        :font "Source Code Pro"
                        :weight 'medium)
