The following results in a permanently stuck emacs that must be killed
from the shell.

$ cat .emacs
(setq default-frame-alist '( (font . "-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1")))
$ emacs
Options > Set Default Font
Click Select.
You will see "Invalid font name..." and then there is no way to recover.

emacs-version "25.2.2"
