See the end of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Emacs, which reads:

Emacs*Fontset-8:\
        -*-fixed-medium-r-*--6-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-6,\
        latin-iso8859-1:-*-fixed-medium-r-*--6-*-iso8859-1,\
        greek-iso8859-7:-*-fixed-medium-r-*--6-*-iso8859-7,\
        latin-iso8859-15:-*-fixed-medium-r-*--6-*-iso8859-15

Either remove these lines, or change them to this:

Emacs*Fontset-8:\
        -*-fixed-medium-r-*--7-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-7,\
        latin-iso8859-1:-*-fixed-medium-r-*--7-*-iso8859-1,\
        greek-iso8859-7:-*-fixed-medium-r-*--7-*-iso8859-7,\
        latin-iso8859-15:-*-fixed-medium-r-*--7-*-iso8859-15

This will avoid requesting an nonexistant font.
