Well, I don't know what TextEdit does, and why.

But you didn't say if Font Book says about which fonts are there.  You
can start Font Book with Spotlight - Command-Space, enter font book, and
return.  Is there a font named "System Font".  If not, Emacs won't be
able to load that font.

If you want to know what font Terminal is using, start Terminal, invoke
Terminal > Preferences from the menu bar, select "Profiles" in the
dialog box, and the "Text" tab on the right side.  There you find it
under "Font".
