This looks like fontconfig fallbacks to some xorg default bitmap font
(and it is also not configured to scale bitmap fonts). You may configure
fontconfig to recognize "Monospace Serif" family explicitly or you can
install any font family listed in `face-font-family-alternatives`. For
example, you can install 'gnu fonts' package and emacs will use FreeMono
family provided by the package as alternative to Monospace Serif.
