emacs24 seems to ignore X11 resources completely. I'm trying Debian's
GTK and "Lucid" variants of emacs 24.2 and both completely ignore my X11
font resources that emacs23 has been accepting for years.
I have the following set:
emacs.font: -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
emacs24 ignores it completely (emacs23 works as expected).
I tried both emacs24/-lucid, and both end up using the following font as
frame's default:
-bitstream-Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-*-*-m-0-fontset-startup
which is not even my default GTK font!

It works fine for me using Debian's 24.1 package (ie, the GTK+ version),
started with -q (not -Q because that ignores X resources), under XFCE,
with an X resource of the form:
Emacs.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1
I can't remember whether Gnome settings will take precedence if Gnome
services are running. So suggestion 1 is to recompile --without-gconf
--without-gsettings and see if it makes a difference.
Suggestion 2 is to try specifying the font completely in X resources.

Whoa... that was completely unexpected:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name
'Monospace 11'
funny thing is, I absolutely have no gnome/kde installed, so I had
*absolutely* no idea what I had to use to query this crap...
Also, I tried the emacs24-lucid package which has --without-gconf, but
not --without-gsettings and thus I have the same behavior.
How can I force emacs to use X11 resources over gsettings? I have been
using *font for years now to configure the default font globally,
including with emacs23.
This is probably a default setting pulled from the
gsettings-desktop-schemas package which is in turn pulled by some weird
dependencies, not something I can avoid. Also, I never configured it in
the first place.
I don't mind the gconf/gsettings dependency on the package, so I would
like to avoid asking Debian's maintaines to build another packaged just
for this.
Ideas?

I'm only guessing that this is a factor (the manual implies it only is
if font-use-system-font is non-nil).
It should be straightforward to compile your own Emacs on Debian, then
you check for yourself. Start with `apt-get build-dep emacs24'.
Also, I certainly have Gnome things installed, and as I said X11
resources seem to work for me with Debian's GTK Emacs 24. So do try a
more complete font specification.

X11 resources for font already takes precedence over other sources.
Do you see emacs.font when you do:
% xrdb -query
?

Yes, the resource is set. I was able to run emacs24 with the font
resource correctly by executing it as "emacs" as opposed to "emacs24" (I
guess the class name is inherited from the executable name?).

No, the class is Emacs, but you used emacs.font. Good that it solved itself, closing this bug as there is no Emacs error here.
