GNU Emacs 22 is not prepared to use font names à la libfontconfig
(Unicode Emacs 23.0.0 or 23.0.60 from CVS allows so).
xlsfonts -fn '-*-bitstream vera sans*' (or '-*-monospace*') can list
what your system offers. Then use such a font name. The xfontsel
application can also find you font names.
The X Logical Font Description (XLFD) conventions allow to substitute
elements with the '*' wildcard character.
