23.0.60; peculiar error: "invalid font property", (:spacing . iso8859)

[Roland Winkler]

Today I downloaded emacs from the CVS tree. It seems to run fine
with the -nw option. Otherwise, it dies on startup with the error
message

peculiar error: "invalid font property", (:spacing . iso8859)

Let me know if there is extra info that might help you.
