As it tries to find fonts from the fixed family it could be related to
verbatim constructs.  But that's unlikely if the messages appear right
at startup of Emacs.

Fred, did you, your desktop environment or your distribution set the
font size to be used by Emacs somewhere?  Probably with some X
resources.  AFAIK 16 points is not the default.  Maybe there are other
settings related to fonts which confuse Emacs.
