ATTS is a list of face attributes and their values.  The possible
attributes are defined in the variable `custom-face-attributes'.
Alternatively, ATTS can be a face in which case the attributes of that
face is used.

The ATTS of the first entry in SPEC where the DISPLAY matches the
frame should take effect in that frame.  DISPLAY can either be the
symbol t, which will match all frames, or an alist of the form
\((REQ ITEM...)...)

For the DISPLAY to match a FRAME, the REQ property of the frame must
match one of the ITEM.  The following REQ are defined:

`type' (the value of `window-system')
  Should be one of `x' or `tty'.

`class' (the frame's color support)
  Should be one of `color', `grayscale', or `mono'.

`background' (what color is used for the background text)
