if one uses
	 (font . "-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1")
instead, not a single error message is printed out why acts just like one still says
	 (font . "-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1")
Please make sure error messages are produced and can be seen via C-h e.

(info "(emacs) Fonts") doesn't explain the mystery either.

Yes, xlsfonts shows both those fonts are installed.

Here's an easier test case:

emacs -fn '-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1'

There's no warning, but hitting `C-u C-x =' in a char then says:

    x:-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1 (#x54)

So this bug (if it is a bug) is still present in Emacs 27.
