First of all, thank you Jeff very much. It works!
I'll explain below how to handle this issue (especialy on gentoo) for future 
generations ;)

-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-1 is an old fashion of 
You may understand what means this string by installing xfontsel
To do that on gentoo just type in console:
$ emerge -1 xfontsel

BTW: How did you know that exactly this font is missing?

The method with xterm works. You can also check is there this font on your 
system by using mentioned xfonsel
In my case, as Jeff suspected, there wasn't one. (How then EMC2 was runing at 
the beginning after installation?!) 

To find which ebuild contains this font type:
(before you may call '$ update-eix' to refresh cache)
$ eix -sc lucida
It returned to me:
[N] media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi (1.0.0): X.Org Bigelow & Holmes 
Lucida bitmap fonts
[N] media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi (1.0.0): X.Org Bigelow & Holmes 
Lucida bitmap fonts

[N] means New (not already on system), so I had to install them. Type:
$ emerge -avt -1 media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi 
media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi

Restart X server, and enjoy!

(I verified by using xfontsel if there is the font and it was this time!)

Thank you, Jeff, one more time!
