The purpose of @var{spec} is to specify how the face should appear on
different kinds of terminals. It should be an alist whose elements have
the form @code{(@var{display} @var{atts})}. Each element's @sc{car},
@var{display}, specifies a class of terminals. The element's second element,
@var{atts}, is a list of face attributes and their values; it specifies
what the face should look like on that kind of terminal. The possible
attributes are defined in the value of @code{custom-face-attributes}.

@sc{car}, @var{display}, specifies a class of terminals. (The first
element, if it s @sc{car} is @code{default}, is special---it specifies

The @var{display} part of an element of @var{spec} determines which
frames the element applies to. If more than one element of @var{spec}
matches a given frame, the first matching element is the only one used
for that frame. There are two possibilities for @var{display}:
frames the element matches. If more than one element of @var{spec}
matches a given frame, the first element that matches is the one used
for that frame. There are three possibilities for @var{display}:
@table @asis
@item @code{default}
This element of @var{spec} doesn't match any frames; instead, it
specifies defaults that apply to all frames. This kind of element, if
used, must be the first element of @var{spec}. Each of the following
elements can override any or all of these defaults.
@item @code{t}
This element of @var{spec} matches all frames. Therefore, any
subsequent elements of @var{spec} are never used. Normally
