Changing fonts on v21.4.4

Whenever I try to change the fonts I get the error message:
Wrong type argument: number-char-or-makerker-p, nil
Any way to fix this?

I've saw the same error, but forgot about it...
You can get this error by clicking Options -> Font -> courier new (for
example).
The error occurs in font-menu-set-font when doing the default font.
Signaling: (wrong-type-argument number-char-or-marker-p nil)
font-menu-set-font("Courier New" nil nil)
eval((font-menu-set-font "Courier New" nil nil))
This is the traceback with font-menu-set-font interpreted:
