Thanks for the reply. But I am not mixing up the settings - what I meant
was that in my system, Inconsolata-g is set as default Monospace font, and
when I run Emacs it raises the error. I had the following font settings in
.emacs file, ::

   (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Monospace 10")

Of course I have tried

   (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Inconsolata-g-10")

as well, but emacs raised the same error.

Actually this did work! Thanks. How do I put this option to .emacs?
