I've found the information about Emacs at
<http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration#Missing_characters>.

The following warning is what I get (from /var/log/Xorg.0.log):

[    12.980] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/".
[    12.980] 	Entry deleted from font path.
[    12.980] 	(Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/").
