My personal experience with both emacs and xemacs is that programmatic  
font changes before the window is realized cause confusion.  (And not  
just in xmonad; a font change in xemacs 22 caused xemacs to open at  
normal size and then incrementally resize itself down to a postage  
stamp, in KDE.)  Suffice it to say that fonts and {,x}emacs don't  
really play all that well together.
