What you want is `(font . ,my-def-font) instead of '(font .
my-def-font) -- the latter uses the symbol my-def-font as the font,
the former evals it as a variable.

And I think nconc is somewhat dangerous (in esoteric cases).  How
about the following?

    (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 40))
    (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist `(font . ,my-def-font))
    (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "light grey"))
