I can confirm: when I use GNU Emacs 23.0.0 with enabled font-backend  
and I launch it as 'emacs --enable-font-backend' and I pass as font a  
fontconfig font name at launch time, then I still get and see €, but  
C-u C-x = returns a weird and obviously wrong character position in  
the font – which is reported in the regular XLFD syntax.

(The fontsets used in GNU Emacs 22 and 21 mostly lead to crashes.)

There is a bug to report!
