When I select the font manually in xfontsel it works as:
xfd -fn '-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-10-*-*-*-m-60-
iso10646-1' &

Partially! As long as GNU Emacs is loading the desktop and the session
saved I can see clearly the text. When this has finished, the fonts
become invisible. Invoking GNU Emacs with -q or -Q keeps the initial
image and the correct size of "xft:-bitstream-Bitstream Vera Sans-
normal-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1". So there can as well
be something in my init file. When I invoke
emacs -q -fn '-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-10-*-*-*-
m-60-iso10646-1' &
I never see that font normally, only the introductory page with the
"GNU Emacs" logo and hyper-link to some documentation appears OK in
Bitstream Vera Sans and Monospace.

I'd think it has to do with TT fonts (the Lucida Sans Typewriter is
such one, from Java). Jeremy Huddleston mentions that he is using an
elder version of FreeType because the recent one shows some bugs in
Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6. Maybe Mac OS X is buggy...
Later, after sleep, I can try to determine which statement in my init
file is causing the "disappearance" of the sans font!
