Okay, I've answered most of my meandering questions myself by reading
the introductory paragraph of section 6.5 (beating myself all the
while with a big olive branch that says "RTFM" on it... it's normally
reserved for users...) and looking at XFontInfo.c and XLoadFont.c.
It comes down to this: how do I get the name of the font referred to
by a font ID?

how do I get the name of the font referred to by a font ID? The protocol does not provide a way, sorry. (If the font follows the X Logical Font Description Conventions, then you can reconstruct the name from several of the font properties, but that's rather cumbersome.)
