I don't use .Xresources. What I did was faces customization through customize. The simplest reproduction I came-up with is: $ emacs -q --no-site-file - Move cursor to the /ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY/ text in the splash screen - M-x customize-face - Change "Font Family:" to "terminus" - Select "State|Set for Current Session" - C-x b to return to splash screen, and /ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY/ looks like in the attached file.
