What I can think of is, font-config is being used. It has it's own  
configuration file(s) (system and user). (fc-cache, fc-list,  
fontconfig(3))


I thought you would try to find in xfontsel a font name without any  
asterisks, i.e. with everything specified. And using the select  
button you would not be able to make a mistake (like above?) when  
passing this font name to GNU Emacs.
