Based on the emacs-devel thread, I did some further diagnosis.  The
Monospace.ttf font did seem to come from ttf-georgewilliams.  It
actually wasn't in the ttf-georgewilliams package, but must have been at
one point in time.  I removed ttf-georgewilliams (at least for now), and
tried in vain to get defoma to forget about it using "normal" means, but
failed.  I eventually was reduced to doing a M-x grep-find on
ttf-georgewilliams in the /var/lib/defoma directory.  I then went to
every instance in any file and deleted it manually from those files.  I
then ran defoma-reconfigure.  After restarting X, everything works fine
again.
