Package: emacs,w32
Version: 23.0.60

Executing emacs like so

  emacs -Q -fn "-*-nonexistent"

selects a non-usable font (no ASCII chars).

This problem was already discussed:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-06/msg01305.html

This is the output of C-u M-x describe-char:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
        character: ; (59, #o73, #x3b)
preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
       code point: 0x3B
           syntax: < 	which means: comment
         category: a:ASCII
ASCII graphic characters 32-126 (ISO646 IRV:1983[4/0]) l:Latin r:Roman
Japanese roman
      buffer code: #x3B
        file code: #x3B (encoded by coding system iso-latin-1-dos)
          display: no font available

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: SEMICOLON
  general-category: Po (Punctuation, Other)

There are text properties here:
