Hmm.. the Emacs effect was down to me - I'd set the font in my local .emacs file - removing the setting made things work as I wanted - I'd presumably put it there eons ago to get around the size problems I was having then. I'd added (if( = emacs-major-version 22) (set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "lucida sans typewriter" :height 116)) which I think was the magic I needed then.. so things are now working 'more properly' than before.

Just noticed that Beta 2 has changed the font size of an emacs running locally (from macports - GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.5.0, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2008-10-23 on snow.hillside.co.uk). The font of the main display area has 'got bigger'.
It's also made remote python apps - like serviceconf on CentOs go to a bigger (and more acceptable) font size.
Proved this by reverting to Beta-1 BTW.
I have:
*font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70- iso10646-1
in my Xresources.
Emacs seems to be choosing:
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-14-100-100-100-m-80- iso10646-1
as its standard font.
I presume that this is a side effect of changing the basic resolution of the server - and emacs being to clever for it's own good.
Anyone got hints about how I convince emacs to use the font I want to use? I can select the font 'by hand'.
