   Emacs creates two fontsets automatically: the @dfn{standard fontset}
 and the @dfn{startup fontset}.  The standard fontset is most likely to
 have fonts for a wide variety of address@hidden characters;
 however, this is not the default for Emacs to use.  (By default, Emacs
 tries to find a font that has bold and italic variants.)  You can
-specify use of the standard fontset with the @samp{-fn} option, or
-with the @samp{Font} X resource (@pxref{Font X}).  For example,

   A fontset does not necessarily specify a font for every character
