how it is formatted:
xset fp= "<path 1>,<path 2>,...<path n>"

Hmm... is your emacs using xft or xfs? Run 'ldd /usr/bin/emacs |
grep Xft'
What does 'xdpyinfo' show when you run it remotely? It should say
the same... anx 84dpi is close enough to 75dpi that it shouldn't be
way-to-big.
It appears that xdpyinfo shows the same thing. emacs doesn't appear
to be running Xft, as shown. The remote machine is running Red Hat
Enterprise, to the best of my knowledge.
Ok, then would you mind trying an xft/fontconfig enabled version of
emacs to let me know how if it still is an issue in that case? If
you don't have access to one, let me know, and I'll get you an
account on one of my linux boxes to test my hunch.
I missed this last offer, unfortunately, and went ahead and built one
myself. I've attached two tiff files, showing my installed Emacs on
the remote machine on the left, and the one I just built on the remote
machine, on the right. Emacs1.tiff is in the situation where nothing
has been changed in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts, and Emacs2.tiff is in the
situation where the links have been modified to fool X into thinking
that the 75dpi fonts are also the 100dpi fonts.
You'll see that Xft is only part of the issue. Look at the font size
in the menu bar. It's identical in both emacsen in each image. Xft
helps (compare the font size in the status lines; large on the left in
the first image, small in the second, and the same size in both
Xft-enabled cases), but it doesn't address the font size issue. And
notice that the link wizardry alone fixes everything; the emacs on the
left in the second image is the one I see in Tiger, and the one I'm
interested in. So I think Xft is a bit of a red herring here.
Thanks for all your help.
