I am having the same problem.

This is a new laptop and I have switched from gentoo stable to gentoo
testing so I can't be sure it is emacs.  But I can say that I was using
dejavu on 23.1 before the switch and now can't use dejavu on 23.2.

As with qiang, xlsfonts finds as does my X log file (excerpt below).
