I can select the font I want from the Shift-Mouse1 menu, as misc 10x20.
It look like shit but it is at least readable. Now I want to make that
permanent Options->Save Options doesn't do this?! And everything else
seems to suggest that I use xfontsel to find the font name again which
is bullshit considering that emacs has to know what font it is using to
display. So the question is how do I get emacs to display the current
font?

I don't use Customize, and prefer hacking my ~/.emacs file myself --
unless I can hack my ~/.Xdefaults file instead. So how about this
~/.emacs hack:
(set-default-font (face-font 'default))
