Put the following into your ~/.Xdefaults

emacs.font: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--14-140-72-72-c-80-iso8859-15

If you prefer a different font take a look at the fonts.dir file of the 
respective directory to find the exact font specifier for the resource line.

Or try to use the xfontsel tool which is kind of like a graphical front 
end to browsing the fonts.dir files by hand.
