You are right. But, before fixing it, I re-considered the
current problem. The basic problem is that set-fontset-font
and fontset-info doesn't treat the given name as literal. I
think accepting '*' as a wildcard in query-fontset is
useful, but not in set-fontset-font and fontset-info.
So, I'd like to change them to treat NAME as literal. And,
for backward compatibilty, if there's no such a fontset,
treat NAME as a pattern containing wildcards and search for
a fontset matching it.
Then, we don't have to ask users to escape '*' by '\'.
