Linux can be a bit more complicated: it has two "font services:" one
supplied by the X server (X client xfontsel, on the command line
xlsfonts) and one handled by the human client, based on libfontconfig
(fc-list or fc-match on the command line).
A rather fool-proof method to determine the system's font repertoire is:
M-x set-frame-font RET TAB TAB
The X server supplies fonts named like this one: -b&h-
lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-m-*-iso10646-1, libfontconfig
loves simple names: LucidaSansTypewriter or LucidaTypewriter or
Lucida Sans Typewriter, mostly followed by a predicate
like :style=Bold or such.
