I'm running 21.3.1, having just upgraded to Fedora Core 1.
Emacs now appears to be ignoring the X preferences I have set for
foreground/background colors and font sizes.

Details, please. A short self-contained example, where Emacs is
invoked with "emacs -nw --no-site-file" and the X resources that it
seemingly ignores are kept to the bare minimum, would be most helpful.
(I don't think Emacs 21.3 ignores X resources in general, so it must
be something specific to your local setup.)

You're right; I've since found the problem. You might want to put
this one in whatever online knowledge base you have.
My X resource assignments weren't being ignored but overridden, and
not by Emacs. A stock FC1 setup drops an .Xresources file in your $HOME
that is interpreted after .Xdefaults. It was stepping on several of
my settings. Removing the offending lines solved the problem.
