Add the following to your .Xdefaults file:
XtDefaultFont: <some good font name for your system>

The error message indicates that you are using an older version of X
and/or do not have a fonts.alias file for translating the ISO names.
Try xlsfonts and see if anything with ISO8859-1 in the last part of
the name is output.
