Odd...  facep seems to return nil for symbols now.  I don't get how
this could have changed by updating gnus, but that's all I did.  Very
weird.

Anyway, I fixed my code at least by no longer testing to see if the
symbol is a valid face.  This doesn't seem wise, but I guess now errors
in a font specification will cause real errors (as opposed to
previously being ignored).

This works:

  (facep (get-face 'highlight))

But of course, you'd have to trap the error now that get-face would
throw if highlight wasn't define.
