The Nextstep port (for OS X) had a way to emulate X resources, which
has since been removed because it didn't actually add enough useful
functionality to merit the overhead. The right way to set a default
font is IMHO to customize the `default' face in one way or the other.
You can also give a command line argument when actually running a
terminal:
Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -fn Lucida\ Grande
However, this is of limited practical use because in normal use (at
least in OS X - not sure about Nextstep in GNU/Linux environments) you
wouldn't start the executable that way (even from a terminal).
I've never seen the kind of issues in NS (or Carbon, for that matter)
that the OP encountered in the screenshot.
