But your method doesn't work for me, I tried the xfontsel and used the
most simple result '-mis-simsun-medium-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*', the same
result.

And I am also puzzled why I can't find the entry for simsun font in the
the completion list when I type M-x set-default-font <TAB>. I think it
should be there if the xlsfonts can list it.

What I can think of is, font-config is being used. It has it's own configuration file(s) (system and user). (fc-cache, fc-list, fontconfig(3))


I thought you would try to find in xfontsel a font name without any asterisks, i.e. with everything specified. And using the select button you would not be able to make a mistake (like above?) when passing this font name to GNU Emacs.
