Yes, just tried that on a jessie chroot using both wheezy and jessie lines in sources.list and it worked. However, be careful with sysvinit and apt if you don't want to install sysvinit. sysvinit is essential in wheezy and apt mixes the essential flag for all available distributions in sources.list: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=216768 [ I call this a misfeature, but apt authors disagree ]. Thanks.
Emacs 23?
Can Debian Wheezy 7.x Emacs 23 be installed in Debian Jessie 8.x? Anyone tried this? Thanks, John -- John Conover, cono...@rahul.net, http://www.johncon.com/

If you invoke Emacs as emacs it does read those, but it ignores them when started under a different name (the menu invokes Emacs as emacs23). What does xrdb -query | grep -i emacs print?

You can choose a monospace font and have all the goodness you wished for. For instance, the following works for me in my .emacs, but YMMV.
