The same way as any other scalable font.

Find out the font's full name using xlsfonts or similar, and fill in
one of the size fields in the XFLD descriptor.

Eg if xlsfonts returns:

-bitstream-Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-96-96-m-0-iso8859-1

then for a 11pt font in Emacs use:

-bitstream-Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-medium-r-normal--*-110-96-96-m-*-iso8859-1
