Emacs Cannot find Fonts

I'm running fedora 11.

Can anyone explain why emacs won't start ?

If I do this:
$ /usr/bin/emacs
I get in response:
Font `-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-M-70-ISO8859-1' is not defined


However, if I then do this:
$ /usr/bin/emacs -fn '-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-M-70-ISO8859-1'

then emacs starts just fine.

I've reinstalled both emacs and xorg-x11-fonts-misc

Can anyone explain what's going on?

What package might I be missing?

Thanks,

Jim
