I think the "X Resources" section of the Emacs manual explains it far
better than I could.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. Do you want to change the
font-size of the menubar? If so, try something like

Emacs.pane.menubar.*font: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

All I can say is, "it works for me" (emacs-21.3,
--with-x-toolkit=athena, under X windows).

If it doesn't work for you, you need to provide more information.
What is your OS? Which Emacs version? What configuration options (see
the variable system-configuration-options)?
