Sorry for the late response.  Actually, I originally wrote
describe-font and font-info for debugging fontset facility,
and forgot about them once they became unnecessary.  :-(

They are not a public API (as far as I know they are not
documented in info).

Not exactly.  (assq 'font (frame-parameters)) will return a
fontset instead of font.  In that case, describe-font
extract an ASCII font of the fontset, and calls font-info
with that font.

In addtion, font-info returns nil if Emacs has not yet
opened any font with NAME.
