These problems might be avoided by making x-select-font take the default
selection as an argument. Actually I suggest the following signature:

(defun x-select-font (&optional frame default-font must-match)

Where default font is a font-spec/entity/object to use as the initial
selection, and must-match is a font-spec for filtering the list of
available fonts (eg by specifiying charset, fixed width fonts only,
bold, italic etc).
