Please type `M-x describe-face RET default RET'. What does the output say in the line "Font or fontset: ..."? If you type `M-x describe-fontset RET', does Emacs offer you your fontset ("fontset-shane") for completion? If so, then at least your changes to .Xdefault took effect. If not, please type "xrdb ~/.Xdefaults" at an xterm (or what ever shell you use under X) and start Emacs again. Are you per chance overriding your settings somewhere? For example have you customized your default face? Or did you set it in your .emacs? Is there nothing else in .Xdefaults concerning fonts in Emacs?
