It would be very interesting to find a way to print a given sentence
with all the possible settings as a list.
I don't know Emacs Lisp but I do know Common Lisp. If I can get some
help I might do it myself.
How can I get a list with all the setting and apply the font setting
to just one sentence in a buffer?
