Also try using your X resources:

My ~/.Xdefaults file:

,----
| !XTerm
| XTerm*font:		-xos4-terminus-medium-*-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
| XTerm*faceSize:		12
| XTerm*background:	Black
| XTerm*foreground:	grey77
| XTerm*metaSendsEscape: 	True
| XTerm*eightBitInput:	False
| XTerm*highlightColor:	pink
| XTerm*cursorBlink:	True
| 
| !Emacs
| Emacs*font:	-xos4-terminus-medium-*-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
| Emacs*cursorColor:	blue
| Emacs*foreground:	grey77
| Emacs*background:	black
