This also happens on X11. Suppose we have
-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-m-90-iso10646-1
and
-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-150-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1
but not for
-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-150-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1 .
Then,
emacs -q -fn -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-m-90-iso10646-1
followed by
(set-frame-font "-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-150-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1")
fails to set the second font. If the first invocation is just "emacs
-q", then set-frame-font succeeds.

I don't find much difference. Of course, there are some differences
in integral/fractional metrics, without/with typographical features
such as kerning. Is the difference more than those?
