In the xemacs manual (21.5.29), section 21.10 on Xft Font
customization, there is an example of how to set the font for menubars
and tabs:
XEmacs*Tabs.xftFont: Bitstream Vera Sans-16
XEmacs*menubar*xftFont: Bitstream Vera Sans-16
XEmacs.modeline.attributeFont: Bitstream Charter-16
XEmacs.default.attributeFont: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-16
I think this is incorrect for the menubar and tabs, and doesn't work
for me. (The modeline and default works, as shown, though). I use
the following:
XEmacs*Tabs.fcFontName: Bitstream Vera Sans-10
XEmacs*menubar*fcFontName: Bitstream Vera Sans-10
This works for me. (I don't remember where I got that from.)

They should work, there's backward compatibility code in place for
them. However, the documentation needs to be fixed since they're
deprecated, and the FcFontName resources are preferred.
I have a patch which will be committed in a day or so. Thanks!

Hmm. The old xftFont resources definitely don't work for me on Mac
OSX. Hmm. The Tabs.fcFontName resource doesn't seem to work for me
on Solaris either. But my xemacs init has lots of cruft so maybe I'm
messing things up somehow.
And the splash screen with xemacs -vanilla gives columns that don't
line up, using the default font as above. (My normal init gives
nice columns. I don't remember what I did to make that happen.)
