I solved this problem by reinstalling the system fonts. I used a  
program called Pacifist to unpack the fonts from the Tiger  
installation disc and restored them to /System/Library/Fonts and / 
Library/Fonts.  Although the Monaco font worked fine in other  
programs, it was unreadable by Emacs for some reason.

I can reproduce the problem by removing Monaco.dfont from /System/ 
Library and rebooting.
