Specifying a font family for the default face doesn't seem to work if
the font does not have italic and bold variants.  You can try using
(set-frame-font FONT-SPEC).

That's because list-fontsets is an interactive function and
x-list-fonts is not.  Put the Lisp expression `(x-list-fonts
"*andale*")' in a Lisp Interaction mode buffer such as *scratch* and
hit C-j, or in any buffer and hit C-x C-e.
