Also try using your X resources:

My ~/.Xdefaults file:

,----
| !XTerm
| XTerm*font:           -xos4-terminus-medium-*-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
| XTerm*faceSize:               12
| XTerm*background:     Black
| XTerm*foreground:     grey77
| XTerm*metaSendsEscape:        True
| XTerm*eightBitInput:  False
| XTerm*highlightColor: pink
| XTerm*cursorBlink:    True
| 
| !Emacs
| Emacs*font:   -xos4-terminus-medium-*-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
| Emacs*cursorColor:    blue
| Emacs*foreground:     grey77
| Emacs*background:     black
| !Emacs*fullscreen:    fullheight
