When I try this, I get an error message, e.g.:

  No fonts match `-raster-System-bold-r-normal-normal-12-*-*-*-*-*-*'

This comes from faces.el:x-resolve-font-name, because on w32,
x-list-fonts returns nil for a pattern that has no matches.

Does this mean this problem will never happen on w32, or should I try
something else?
