emacs -Q

M-x describe-font RET

You get this prompt: "Fontname (default current choice for ASCII chars): "

However, hitting RET gives this error message: "No matching font"

The prompt tells you (me at least) that there is a default value, but
hitting RET tells you that there is no default value.

Also, shouldn't that be "Font name", not "Fontname"?
