Yup, I also have that problem.  I solve by putting the following at
the end of my .emacs file:
(if (eq window-system 'x)
    (progn
      (x-set-font "9x15")
      (if (x-color-p)
	  (progn
	    (x-set-foreground-color "green")
	    (x-set-background-color "navy")
	    (x-set-mouse-color "yellow")
	    (x-set-cursor-color "cyan")))))

N.B.: It seems to be important that this be at the enc in order that
the window size be correct after changing the font size.
