emacs -Q
M-x describe-font RET
You get this prompt: "Fontname (default current choice for ASCII chars): "
However, hitting RET gives this error message: "No matching font"
The prompt tells you (me at least) that there is a default value, but
hitting RET tells you that there is no default value.
Also, shouldn't that be "Font name", not "Fontname"?
