Another trick is to manifest the arg type in the arg name:

(cl:defun FTFont-Render (this wchar-string)...)

(cl:defun FTFont-Render-1 (this char-string)...)
 
Then when a helpful IDE shows the completion of a function invocation 
one is learning the type as well. I guess this is not so good where the 
info one needs most is the semantics, such as a make-box function that 
takes four integers but one can never remember the order (usually left, 
top, right, bottom). And on reflection, I guess I am normally worried 
about semantics not type at that point.

Anyway, the doc-string will be fine.
