In GNU Emacs 19.27.2 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.2, X toolkit) of Sun Sep 18 1994 on kepler

If I get up emacs & select a new font by 
C-mouse-3 Misc 12x24
it looks very small and broken.  The same thing happens if I type

emacs -q -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-*-*-*-c-120-iso8859-1

But that's not what I think the font 12x24 is anyway.  If I type 

emacs -q -fn 12x24 &

I get a nice large font that's bigger than 10x20 and 9x15, but similar
looking.  Now 
emacs -q -fn 10x20 &
gives the same as 
C-mouse-3 Misc 10x20
(which brings up font
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-c-100-iso8859-1).
