I played around with this a little. If I put
Emacs*font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-12-120-75-75-*-*-*-*
in my .Xresources file, then
emacs -Q -xrm 'Emacs.Font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1'
>>> -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
emacs -Q -xrm 'emacs.Font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1'
>>> -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1
This behavior is the same for both CVS Emacs and Emacs 22.
I think this behavior makes sense, because the "emacs" X attribute
setting should override the "Emacs" class setting, and the "font"
attribute setting overrides the "Font" class setting. Maybe your Feb 27
build contained a bug that was subsequently fixed.
