The problem with this font for me is that it is quite a bit larger
than my default font and the other faces and therefore distracting.

Here are my XEmacs font-related resources from .Xdefaults:

  Emacs.default.attributeFont:	  -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*
  Emacs.italic.attributeFont:     -*-courier-medium-o-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
  Emacs.bold-italic.attributeFont:-*-courier-bold-o-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*

I had hoped setting `Emacs.italic.attributeFont' would have done what
I needed, but apparently not.  This is on Redhat Linux BTW.

Thanks.
