But I would think misc-fixed is somewhere in the list that the OP
posted, and it should be able to handle the Emacs splash screen and
most code (including the tags in SGML and TeX macros, as well as
keywords in all common languages). So I'm still surprised at his
results.

Indeed, upgrading to a fontconfig/Xrender-capable Emacs solved his
problem.
