Font choice and anti-aliasing with 'emacs -Q' and 'emacs -q'

Hello!

I have an interesting phenomenon with GNU Emacs 23.1.50 from CVS on my Mac in X11 (old XFree86 4.4.0 X server, OS is Tiger, 10.4.11). Compiled with GTK and launched from the build directory with -Q it uses the font

xft:-unknown-Monospace-normal-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-0- iso10646-1 (#x2A)

via the XFT font backend (the font probably is set somewhere in GTK, the X resources are set as:

        Emacs.Font:     -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-m-*-iso10646-1
        Emacs.FontBackend:      x,ftx

plus some more, of which not all are followed (probably due to internal GTK settings). When I launch GNU Emacs with -q and rename the system's and my own init file so that none is found, it uses

x:-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-10-100-75-75-m-60- iso10646-1 (#x2A)

and follows the X resources. Is this normal behaviour or rather a bug?

It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.
