The solution is to set up emacs font in .Xresources, not in ~/.emacs

Thanks for your reply. This method worked just fine in earlier versions of Emacs 23, but since a few months ago, it doesn't seem to work anymore. Setting the font in ~/.emacs doesn't work either, so I'm kind of lost for ideas.

Works for me, though I use .Xdefaults rather than .Xresources, and (probably critically) I have "xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults" executed during X session startup. The problem I have is with emacs frames that turn on toolbar-mode. Mostly I don't use it, but for one frame (the one I use for gnus) I do. When the toolbar appears, it is as though the frame sticks out below the screen until I switch workspaces, then stuff seems to get resized correctly. (Probably it would be easiest just to turn off toolbar-mode entirely, of course.)
