Emacs Fonts vs. F10

When I start emacs under F10 it displays everything in a very small
font, and reports that it can't find any fonts.  In particular running
	$ emacs --debug-init
produces this line in the emacs message buffer:
	Warning: no fonts matching `-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' available [2 times]
while
	$ xfontsel -fn '-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'
works just fine.
Attempting to change the font to anything using "Options->Set Font/Fontsel..."
always seems to always provoke the message from emacs
	mouse-set-font: Font not found

Does anyone know what's going on?  It looks like the system is missing
an rpm, but it's not obvious which one.

Thanks - jon
