Emacs does not create fonts, which are the preserve of the window
system, but it does create fontsets.

How are you specifying the font of the default face?  On X, the simplest
and fastest way is with ~/.Xdefaults, like this:

Emacs*Font:     -*-courier-medium-r-*--*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

(That's for a 14 point font.  I assume you meant a 10.5 point font,
which would be 105 in tenths of points.)
