27.0.50; Cannot use menu-set-font |

emacs -Q
M-x menu-set-font
select Ubuntu Mono Regular =>
"set-face-attribute: Font not available: #<font-spec xft nil Ubuntu\ Mono nil
nil normal normal nil 10.0 nil nil nil ((:name . "Ubuntu Mono"))>"
I can select Ubuntu Mono using M-x customize-face. Why does
menu-set-font try to use an xft spec?
(frame-parameter nil 'font-backend) =>
(xfthb x)

Ah, the package gsfonts-X11 seems to provide fonts.alias for URW Type1
fonts. Anyway, I think the behavior originally reported as Bug#3228
is actually consistent in the sense that "% emacs -fn courier-12" also
displays the text in "ugly" font in OP's environment.
Also, x-select-font is a function for a generic font selection dialog,
not specific to menu-select-font. So its result should not include
font type property only for menu-select-font.
I've pushed the patch to master as e2d8c1e8bcf. Closing the bug.
