I am trying to set the default font in my Emacs (in Red Hat) to a larger
size. I found some sample .emacs files on the web that contained
settings such as 

(set-default-font "-*-Courier-normal-r-*-*-16-96-*-*-c-90-*-ansi-")

But when I try these, I get an error message saying that the font I have
listed is not defined. How can I get a list of the fonts that are
defined for my installation?
