I am using a U.S. locale.

Is this needed for a U.S. locale? If so, how? I've never seen 
comma-separated font specs.

How do i tell if I have a UTF-8 locale?

The explicit problem is that XEmacs fails to use the font requested with 
the following (the newline after the colon is not in the original)

   XEmacs*menubar*Font:
   *-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-*-*-240-*-*-*-*-*-*

The warnings aren't a problem. Thanks for your advice!
