Indeed

(x-list-fonts "*")

as called by set-frame-font throws an error for me ("Invalid font name
*") in the current trunk on GNU/Linux.

`cvs up -D2009-01-18 font.c' and this goes away, so perhaps it is the
2009-01-19 change to font_spec_from_name?

(I don't think this is related to the original report.)
