There should be some file that starts the X session, a file like  
~/.xinitrc. One of the statements inside should be

	xrdb -merge $userresources

before the first X client is launched, where $userresources could  
also be an explicite file name. This way your X resource settings  
should be present for all X clients, including GNU Emacs.

If you determine the process ID of an X client that was launched at  
startup (xterm, maybe), the could invoke

	pstree -w -p <that PID<

and find out how your X session started.


Besides this, are you sure that ``emacs-snapshot-gtk*font´´ is the  
right name? For me ``Emacs*font´´ is sufficient ...
