The error message is "No matching font", but it is reported because
font-info returned nil, so "No info about FONTNAME" would be more
accurate. But how can font-info return nil for the default font of
the selected frame? Emacs is already displaying text in that font!
It looks like a bug to me. But note that neither describe-font nor
font-info is documented properly. It is not clear to me what
sort of argument is really supposed to be meaningful for font-info.
Perhaps this was not clear to the person who wrote describe-font.
I asked Handa to help here.
