What means do you use to determine whether a particular or any font  
exists on your system? If you can determine that it has at least one  
font, could you pass it to GNU Emacs as argument of the -fn switch?

With set-frame-font in .emacs you can record that, or use a way like  
this:

          (setq initial-frame-alist '(
            (font . "-*-*-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-fontset- 
osaka")))

         (setq default-frame-alist '(
           (background-color     . "ghost white")
           (foreground-color     . "grey10")
           (cursor-color         . "purple")
           (cursor-type          . box)
           (vertical-scroll-bars . left)
           (active-alpha         . 0.875)
           (inactive-alpha       . 0.75)
           (font . "-*-*-medium-r-normal--9-*-*-*-*-*-fontset- 
hiraginokaku")
           (top . 20) (left . 150) (width . 89) (height . 56)))

When in doubt, use brute force.
