I have 2 server side fonts:

  -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-120-iso10646-1
  -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-ja-13-120-75-75-c-120-iso10646-1

When I run:

  (set-frame-font "-misc-*-*-*-*--13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")

unfortunately next font selected:

  -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-ja-13-120-75-75-c-120-iso10646-1

  /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/12x13ja.pcf.gz

which looks very ugly.

(This bug report unfortunately got no feedback at the time.)

If I (on this Debian system) tries

(set-frame-font "-misc-*-*-*-*--13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")

I get

    x:-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-koi8-r (#x2D)

If I say

(set-frame-font "-misc-*-*-*-*-ja-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")

I get

    x:-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-ja-13-120-75-75-c-120-iso10646-1 (#x2A)

So I don't seem to be able to reproduce this error, but that may be
because I don't have the same fonts installed as you have.  On the other
hand, there's been some changes in the font handling in Emacs since the
bug was reported.

Are you still seeing this problem in Emacs 27?

More information was requested, but none was given within 6 months, so
I'm closing this bug.

If this is still an issue, please reply to this
email (use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can reopen the
bug report.

Best regards,
