I agree that having that in the menus and/or on the tool bar is a
better alternative.

"Save Options" _must_ work. If it doesn't, it's a bug that needs to
be fixed. The only situation where Save Options is not expected to
save them is when you invoke Emacs with the -Q or -q switch.
So if you invoke Emacs without -q/-Q, and Emacs doesn't save the font
you customize, please report that with all the details as a bug, and
allow us to fix it.
