OK, that makes sense, it gives me:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid font name" "-Misc-Fixed-normal-normal-semi-condensed-*-13-*-*-*-c-60-iso10646-1")

but I have no idea where this "semi-condensed" comes from.  The full
backtrace shows that it was generated "internally".  My guess is that
xft returns a font info where the width says "semi-condensed", so "turn
it into an XFD and parse it back" ends up failing.
