I am happy to see somebody work on it!

I don't understand.  When you run M-x customize-fontset RET
fontset-default RET, you expect to see a widget that explains the
value of "fontset-default", and offer a way to change it.  Thus, all
the info returned by (fontset-info "fontset-default") must be visible
and editable at some point.  Unless you are proposing some sort of
fontset-inheritance mechanism?
