All fonts usable in emacs.

Anything (and icicle also AFAIK) use this function.
If you want a nice display of this list, use one of them.
If you don't want to use them, you can print the output of this function
with your own function:
loop in (x-list-fonts "*")
print in current buffer or in a specialized buffer each elements
generated by the loop.
Don't forget to add a "\n" after each elements to print.

As his name say, set-default-font ... set font, and is not intended to
display font, even if you can do it with completion.
If you press RET while browsing font like that, you will set a font.
If it is a readable font you can come back to your default font, else,
you will be good to restart emacs.
