Juan,

What you need to add is an emacs resource definition in your XWindows defaults
file.  

If you don't already have one, this is what you can do:

Create the file "$HOME/.Xdefaults" (no quotes) if you don't already have one.
Add the following lines to the file:

emacs*font:	9x15
xemacs*font:	9x15


Now, there I placed two resources there as I am not sure
which program you are using.

At this point, you should be able to do a "xrdb -load $HOME/.Xdefaults"
and run emacs with the new font size.

To have it loaded each time upon startup, you would have to add that line to
your Xwindows startup file. It is (mostly likely) called ".xsession" 
or ".xinitrc" depending on how Xwindows is started up.

If you have to type 'xinit' to start Xwindows, you are going to have to
change the '.xinitrc' file.  If there is a nice window prompting you
to sign in, (ie, you are using an Xterminal, a Sun x/xxx pretending to
be an Xterminal, or XDM is running) then, you would need to change
the '.xsession' file.  

Simply add this line into the file:

xrdb -load $HOME/.Xdefaults 


Hope this helps.  If you have more questions, just reply to me personally.
