 Rob,
 
 I am currently using this in my .Xresources:
 lucidasanstypewriter-12 (xfonts-75dpi).
 It worked fine in twm and this is the default font I've always been using. 
 I'm very picky about fonts in my system. What's weird is this started 
 happening when I installed sawfish-gnome and when I was running kde. In 
 fact, that picture was taken in KDE. There are lots of things wrong in KDE 
 right now as far as I'm concerned so I'll have to fool around with it some 
 more. I hope to resolve this problem soon for I cannot code in this font.

Have you disabled the 'make my apps kinda look like KDE apps' (well,
close enough;) option in kcontrol?

 Hello all,

 Thanks to many generouse people's advise, I now removed xfonts-100dpi 
and
 am using xfonts-75dpi. Now one of the main reasons for this transition 
was
 to make emacs look nice but now it looks like there is a problem with
 graphics. Please look at the file attatchment and tell me what I can do 
to
 solve this problem. My assumption is that this has to do with ttf but 
since
 I'm a noob, I really can't say.
 As always, all help is greatly appreciated.

Ouch.  That's pretty ugly.  You can select a font using 'xfontsel', then
set it in ~/.Xresources with a line like this:

Emacs.font: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*

Choose any font you like for the above, but emacs will not like a
non-fixed width font, iirc.  You might need to run
'xrdb -load ~/.Xresources' in your ~/.xsession.  Also, make sure you
disable 'make my apps pretend to look like KDE ones' in the KDE Control
Centre under Themes, IIRC.  It just looks crap.
