I use this script to invoke Emacs (although on a sun and UNIX), and
it invokes emacs with a very large font.  Hope it is what you need.

#! /bin/sh
EMACS="emacs"
EINIT="-l ~/Emacs/eshellinit.el"
XSWITCHES="-ib 2 -bd red -w =80x40+210+127"

if [ "${WINDOWID}" ] ; then
	args=$*
	set `xgeom`
	if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
		wid=1152
	else
		wid=$1
	fi
	if [ $wid -ge 1280 ] ; then
		exec $EMACS -i -fn fg-22 $XSWITCHES $EINIT $args &
	else
		exec $EMACS -i -fn 8x13 $XSWITCHES $EINIT $args &
	fi
else
	unset DISPLAY
	exec $EMACS -nw $EINIT $*
fi
