Emacs GUI window, help.

Just to add a bit to era's excellent distillation of how X11 font work (which I've now bookmarked for when I try and explain it to people thanks!) - the version of xming I use has a really small set of fonts by default, your's might well have the same problem.
There's good news though, you can add additional fonts to xming (like, say, courier-medium and helvetica-medium
)
If you already have those fonts available in windows, you can either tell xming where to find these by editing the font-dirs file.
If they are not on your machine at all, you can either install them into windows, or into xming itself.
There's loads of information on xming fonts here:
Xming - PC X Server - Fonts

DH_INSTALLXFONTS(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLXFONTS(1) NAME
dh_installxfonts - register X fonts SYNOPSIS
dh_installxfonts [debhelperoptions] DESCRIPTION
dh_installxfonts is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering X fonts, so their corresponding fonts.dir, fonts.alias, and fonts.scale be rebuilt properly at install time. Before calling this program, you should have installed any X fonts provided by your package into the appropriate location in the package build directory, and if you have fonts.alias or fonts.scale files, you should install them into the correct location under etc/X11/fonts in your package build directory. Your package should depend on xfonts-utils so that the update-fonts-* commands are available. (This program adds that dependency to ${misc:Depends}.) This program automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands needed to register X fonts. These commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works. NOTES
See update-fonts-alias(8), update-fonts-scale(8), and update-fonts-dir(8) for more information about X font installation. See Debian policy, section 11.8.5. for details about doing fonts the Debian way. SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper. AUTHOR
