1) emacs -Q
2) eval the following in *scratch*
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" nil
"xft:-unknown-Symbola-normal-normal-semi-condensed-*-20-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1")
I expect a return of nil. I get an error "Invalid font name".
On Debian the package ttf-ancient-fonts contains the font.

This is due to r113049. Perhaps it is working as it should, I don't know.

Unrelated, but I would recommend not doing that, unless you have a good
reason to.

A valid XLFD name should have 14 fields separated by "-",
not 15 as the above example. So, I think signaling "Invalid
font name" error is the right thing.

Agreed. It would be helpful for the error message to point out why the
font name is invalid, tho.

Hi Handaさん、
The font
"xft:-unknown-Symbola-normal-normal-semi-condensed-*-20-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1"
Is a copy & paste of what emacs 24.3 report after doing a C-u C-x =
It has 15 fields on that version.
On trunk emacs I have tried:
"xft:-Symbola-normal-normal-semi-condensed-*-20-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1"
and
"xft:-unknown-Symbola-normal-normal-semi-condensed-*-20-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1"
which contains 14 fields and still get an error.
I don't know anything about this xft stuff. I just had a look at the
emacs info. It talks about using a program called fclist. The output of
that program doesn't tell me what I need to tell emacs to use these fonts.
Take care,
Ivan

The first item, "xft:", is not part of the font, just saying which
font backend is being used. Please remove it.

"-unknown-Symbola-normal-normal-semi-condensed-*-20-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1"
Gives me a Font Error. I count 14 elements.

It's weird. "semi-condensed" is one field. For comparison, take a look
at my current font spec (for DejaVu Sans Mono):
-*-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1

Or, in the output of C-u C-x =
uniscribe:-outline-DejaVu Sans
Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
where uniscribe:, as above, describes the font backend.

I got it to work with :
-*-Symbola-*-*-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
C-u C-x = reports
-unknown-Symbola-normal-normal-semicondensed-*-20-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
There is no hyphen in semicondensed. It was a bug in 24.3.
Thanks for the help, I am closing this bug.

Emacs' XLFD parser is stricter than the spec of XLFD. For
instance, the possible value of SETWIDTH_NAME field (the 5th
one) is one of:
undefined ultracondensed extracondensed condensed
semicondensed medium semiexpanded expanded extraexpanded
ultraexpanded
which are "english translation"s of defined reference value
for RELATIVE_SETWIDTH property. See:
http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/xorg-docs/specs/XLFD/xlfd.html#font_properties
So, in the above case, Emacs thinks "semi" is not a valid
SETWIDTH_NAME of a font.
This strictness is to handle a wildcard "*" matching with
multiple fields efficently. For instance, to find a font
matching with "*-bold-*", Emacs assumes that "bold" is for
WEIGHT_NAME field, and lists fonts whose WEIGHT_NAME field
is "bold". This is far faster than getting all font names
and check each of them whether it contains "bold" or not.

Yes, it's a bug, and should be fixed already.

semi-condensed is bogus. It should be a single word without a dash.
