+@cindex fonts, how to ignore
+@vindex face-ignored-fonts
+ Some fonts installed on your system might be broken, or produce
+unpleasant results for characters for which they are used, and you may
+wish to instruct Emacs to completely ignore them while searching for a
+suitable font required to display a character. You can do that by
+adding the offending fonts to the value of @code{face-ignored-fonts}
+variable, which is a list. Here's an example to put in your
+@file{~/.emacs}:
+
+@example
+(add-to-list 'face-ignored-fonts "Some Bad Font")
