Yes.

What happens if you try setting it to each of the following in order?
(The list below was taken straight from xfns.c.)

#if defined USE_CAIRO || defined HAVE_XFT
	    /* This will find the normal Xft font.  */
 	    "monospace-10",
#endif
	    "-adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1",
	    "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1",
	    "-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1",
	    /* This was formerly the first thing tried, but it finds
	       too many fonts and takes too long.  */
	    "-*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1",
	    /* If those didn't work, look for something which will
	       at least work.  */
	    "-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1",
	    "fixed",

It's a long shot, but if it still doesn't work then I'm really out of
ideas.
