I tried this on this Debian laptop:

(loop for font in (x-list-fonts "*")
      unless (= (loop for char across font
		   when (= char ?-)
		   sum 1)
		14)
      do (insert font "\n"))

and there were no fonts returned by the function that's invalid in this
way.  I don't know whether that's because I just don't have any such
font, or whether x-list-fonts has been fixed not to return these invalid
font strings.

Are you still seeing this?
