Here's the offending line which caused XEmacs to not read the remainder of the .Xresources file: XEmacs.default.attributeFont: -ttf-iowanoldst bt-medium-r-*-*-*-140-*-[etc.] I truncated the end of the line for readability. The problem is with the space between 'iowanoldst' and 'bt'; there are several other X apps which don't like a space within a font name. Quoting the name doesn't help. I don't think it has anything to do with the font's truetype origin, as I've since substituted another tt font which doesn't have any spaces in the name. While I was fooling around with the .Xresources file I tried several combinations of Emacs and XEmacs resources and the scheme seems to be working correctly, i.e. if an XEmacs resource is found any others are also used, otherwise the Emacs resources are used. Sorry for the delay!
