Please try `emacs -Q' instead.

`Monospace-8' is a fontconfig name, emacs22 only supports the bad old
XLFD¹ font names. Only the development version of Emacs is able to make
use of fontconfig names.

Most likely you (or somebody "helpfully" for you) have set Emacs.font
via X resources. What does "xrdb -query | grep -i emacs" print?
Check ~/.Xdefaults and/or ~/.Xresources if you get matches.
