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.
