So, I tried running `M-x dictionary` and ran into a puzzling error message:
set-face-attribute: Font not available: #<font-spec nil nil default nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil ((:name . "default") (:user-spec . "default"))>
The backtrace doesn't help me very much:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Font not available"
