Eh, that’s a subjective call.
I was mainly referring to the problem with font size because that's
what we are talking about.
And we do have a whisper of a decent redisplay
infrastructure on X11 in the pipeline;

Hm, I am still not sure if I like anti-aliased fonts inside of an
editor. Currently I tend to favor a good "plain" font. So /this/
certainly is subjective.

Let me re-iterate that, but more concisely; I see a problem when the size is
specified, and not otherwise. In your place, I would consult with more
people before specifying a size by default, because your setup seems strange
enough that what works there may look horrible with more widespread
defaults.
Okay, I played a bit more and I could persuade XEmacs to pick the
correct font size by specifying the full font name for the X resource,
i.e.
Emacs.Font: -bitstream-terminal-medium-r-normal--18-140-100-100-c-110-iso8859-1
Shouldn't it be able to resolve this itself?
