The above is not the default font.

Here I run xlsfonts with that pattern:

-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-100-100-100-c-60-iso8859-1

-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-94-100-100-c-0-iso8859-1

So, in my case, the font used is the first one.

I don't see much point to the message printed.
I get it myself and it's not telling me anything I want to know.

Currently it just prints the first 5 times it fails, then shuts up.

That message should probably only print when "printinfo locale" is
1 or 2...
