I have this in my $HOME/.xserverrc
exec X -ac -nodecoration -rootless -nowinkill -clipboard -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,.....
^^^^^^^^^
and from my $HOME/.xinitrc I start xemacs with the following line:
/usr/bin/xemacs -geometry 137x28+0-3 &

Looks fine here. Without the :unscaled I also dislike the font appearance.
Hope it helps
