It is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that you must
edit ``.Xdefaults''.  Have a line ``emacs*font: ...'' in there, where=20
``...'' is the full string description of the font.  I am sure that I
also don't need to mention that you need to use xfontsel to build that
string.

These are some examples (only use one line, of course):

emacs*font: -b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-12-120-*-*-p-*-iso8859-9
emacs*font: -b&h-lucida-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-9
emacs*font: -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal-*-13-100-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1
emacs*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-100-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1
emacs*font: -misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
emacs*font: -adobe-courier-bold-r-*-*-17-*-100-100-*-*-*-*
emacs*font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-17-*-100-100-*-*-*-*

If that doesn't work, then everyone knows that you just need to run
xrdb on the .Xdefaults file to register your changes with X.
