emacs-23 happened.  Fonts are MUCH better.  Emacs can now use non-
bitmapped fonts.

Here are some suggestions:
1.
(cond 
 ((display-graphic-p)
  (set-face-attribute 'default                nil :font "DejaVu Sans 
Mono-9" :slant 'normal :weight 'normal)))

2. If you'd like to adjust font size using Ctrl-mouse wheel (like many 
other apps):

 (require 'zoom-frm)
(global-set-key (kbd "<C-mouse-5>") 'zoom-in)
(global-set-key (kbd "<C-mouse-4>") 'zoom-out)

For this you'll need:
zoom-frm.el
frame-fns.el
frame-cmds.el
You can find them all here: (e.g.)
