Choosing the wrong font? To see a list of all the fonts GNU Emacs  
sees, you can just try to create this list of completions:

        M-x set-frame-font RET TAB TAB

and save the buffer (if you try file name completion to save it you  
might substitute its contents with possible file name completions).  
Now can choose from the list an existing font that the X server  
provides.

Another option would be to use:

        (setq initial-frame-alist '(
          (mouse-color           . "midnightblue")
          (foreground-color      . "grey20")
          (background-color      . "alice blue")
          (internal-border-width . 2)
          (line-spacing          . 1)
          (active-alpha          . 0.875)
          (inactive-alpha        . 0.75)
          (font . "-apple-courier std-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-mac-roman")
          (top . 25) (left . 650) (width . 91) (height . 50)))

        (setq default-frame-alist '(
          (border-color          . "#4e3831")
          (foreground-color      . "grey10")
          (background-color      . "ghost white")
          (vertical-scroll-bars  . left)
          (cursor-color          . "purple")
          (cursor-type           . box)
          (active-alpha          . 0.75)
          (inactive-alpha        . 0.875)
          (font . "-*-*-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-osaka")
          (top . 50) (left . 150) (width . 89) (height . 56)))

We have to expect it, otherwise we would be surprised.
