It works for me just fine in my ~/.xinitrc file.

Doing that seems to fix things. Before I did it, I temporarily
changed the 100dpi fonts back to the way they were before. This is
the sort of thing I would have done in my ~/.xinitrc before, but the
current implementation doesn't like having a ~/.xinitrc. How can I
set this up as my default setting? Thanks for your help.

Can you guys try this alternative font path and let me know if it
fixes the problem for you:
xset fp= "/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/,/
usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/OTF,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11/
lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled/,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/
100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled/,/usr/X11/
lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,/Library/Fonts,/System/Library/Fonts"
Note that just in case email formatting changes in transport, this
is 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.
