Font not defined

[Robert J. Chassell]

When I do

    emacs -q -fn '-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-c-100-iso8859-1'

I see

  Font `-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-c-100-iso8859-1' is not defined

Emacs does not start, although both

    $ xfd -fn -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO8859-1
and
    $  xfd -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-c-100-iso8859-1

produce an X window and

    $ xlsfonts -fn -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO8859-1

produces

    -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-1

and
