Yes, sorry. This is what I was doing, with var FONT as input:
(save-match-data
(let ((xlfd-regexp "\\`\\(-[^-]*-[^-]*-[^-]*-[^-]*-[^-]*-[^-]*\\)\
-[^-]*-[^-]*-[^-]*-[^-]*-[^-]*-[^-]*-[^-]*-[^-]*\\'"))
(or (not (string-match xlfd-regexp font))
(setq font (replace-match "\\1" nil nil font)))))
I truncated it because I am not interested in anything except the
first 6 fields of the XLFD string. And previously, or so I thought,
`font-info' worked OK with such a truncated font spec.
(And - see below - I thought that allowed me to get font info for
some fonts that otherwise did not give info. I did not realize that
`font-info' was in fact giving me incorrect info for those fonts.)
I then filtered out the case of a literal (string= font "-*-*-*-*-*-*"),
then passed the FONT to `font-info'.
I have fixed my code now so that the main feature works. But `font-info'
still complains about some of the fonts I have. I've wrapped the
`font-info' call in an `ignore-errors' to ignore that, but this means that
I cannot get font info for those few fonts. So be it.
FYI, here are some problematic fonts. It is no doubt the addition of
extra fields that makes them invalid.
-outline-MingLiU-ExtB-normal-normal-normal-serif-*-*-*-*-p-*-big5-0

All of those fonts seem to work OK outside of Emacs. But yes, Emacs
now rejects them - this raises the same invalid font error:
M-x set-frame-font
-outline-MingLiU-ExtB-normal-normal-normal-serif-*-*-*-*-p-*-big5-0
Is Emacs doing the right thing here and other applications (e.g. Outlook)
are wrong?
If you see no bug wrt this, OK. In any case, I will close the current bug.
Thanks for taking a look.
