You are mixing up font related things! The fonts.conf file is related to libfontconfig (see for example fontconfig-user.pdf or fontconfig-user.html). The font name you pass is according to the XLFD – pretty old, last millennium, needs to set up differently (with xset).
Give GNU Emacs the fontconfig font name:
emacs -fn Inconsolata-g-15
And maybe it fails again, because the "-" character is used as a separator…
