 set-default-font problem on Ubuntu 14.04 (Similar to bug#17486)
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2014 12:17:28 +0300

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Starting from emacs -Q, setting the default font with

  M-x set-default-font RET Inconsolata-12 RET

results in

  set-face-attribute: Font not available: #<font-spec nil nil Inconsolata nil nil nil nil nil 12.0 nil nil nil ((:name . "Inconsolata-12") (user-spec . "Inconsolata-12"))>

Note that the exact same procedure is successful when using Emacs24.3

I do not observe the problem on my Ubuntu 14.04 platform, after I installed the 
fonts-inconsolata package.  Perhaps that package, or the appropriate development 
libraries are not present?  You might try to install enough development 
libraries to match the "Configured features" listed below:

It was indeed my configuration. I use a custom Inconsolata font in OTF
format and I was missing libotf-dev.

Thank you very much for your time, next time I should be more careful.
