You probably want to fiddle with ~/.Xdefaults and stick your (default)
font/colors preferences for Emacsen there.
I include mine (for GNU Emacs) here, but I don't think it's going to
appeal anyone else than me :-)

It gets loaded with "xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults" (under X) if for some
reason it doesn't load in the first place.
Other than that, in (GNU's at least) Emacs you can alter the menu bar
font with something like this:
M-x set-face-font RET menu RET 7x14
There should be some equivalent elisp code to put in ~/.emacs.

May be you're not running Gnome, and therefore gnome-settings-daemon is
not loaded (it is the responsible of telling Gnome apps what font to
use, AFAIK). I make sure it gets loaded as soon as I start WindowMaker.
