Setting font size in emacs

[Michael Mellinger]

   Just received the latest Linux Journal and was reading the Matt Welsh
   article on emacs.  He goes into how to customize and set your own key
   bindings.  What I'm interested in knowing  (which I hav'nt been able to
   figure out from the available docs that I have) is how to set the font
   size within emacs.  When I get into into it from X (under Linux, of
   course)the default font size is too large; I want it to be the same,
   standard size as the rest of my windows.
   Anybody know how to set this (I figure it must be a lisp command
   within the .emacs file.

This should work: (x-set-font "courr14")

You might be able to set the font in your .Xdefaults too.
