Does the following reproduce the problem for you?

(progn
  (set-frame-font
   "-misc-fixed-normal-normal-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1")
  (pop-to-buffer "*bold*")
  (insert "foo\n")
  (insert (propertize "foo\n" 'face 'bold)))

I don't have the font here on this system, so I can't test it.

You don't happen to know what package this font lives in on Debian?

That package is already installed here, but Emacs still says it can't
find it.

Ah, perhaps that's it?  Then perhaps somebody that has as system where
they're not disabled has to try to debug this instead.

Anybody?
