":help pfn-option" is ambiguous: it says it has "the same format as
'guifont'" but later on it says "on non-Windows systems, only :h11 is
recognised, where 11 is the font size". However, on X11 systems anything
that includes :h11 would be invalid for 'guifont'. So what should
'printfont' be set to in that case? Here are the valid 'guifont' formats
for the various X11 GUI flavours:

GTK2 (but not GTK1):
:set gfn=Consolas\ 9

kvim (obsolete):
:set gfn=Consolas/9/-1/5/50/0/0/0/1/0

Photon (is that X11 or not, I'm not sure):
:set gfn=Consolas:s9

Other X11 (including GTK1 but not GTK2):
:set gfn=-*-consolas-medium-r-normal-*-*-90-*-*-m-*-*
