Hi,

I have the following in my ~/.emacs file

;; Display settings
(setq default-frame-alist
       '(
	(width . 100)
         (height . 70)
         (font . 
"-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-100-iso8859-1")
         (mouse-color       . "Pink")
         (cursor-color      . "Pink")
         (background-color  . "Black")
         (foreground-color  . "White")
	))

The above is to make the font bigger not smaller, but you get the idea ;)

You need to choose the font to suit what you want. I use xfontsel for this.
