Those commands give different results.

However, in Emacs, they give the same result; try:

   (set-frame-font "Sans Serif-8")

and:

   (set-frame-font "Sans-Serif-8")
   
Result:  same.

So the font-parser in xfd seems to be broken, whereas one in Emacs is
not.

Since we are discussing Emacs, there would seem to be no problem.
