clicking <select> just copies the font description string to the clipboard,
so you can paste it into another program.

try 'emacs.font' (i.e. lower case), that (used to) work for me. if it still
doesn't work, do:

xrdb .Xdefaults

before restarting emacs. that makes sure the resource database is updated.
