Changing Emacs' default font

I wanted to change the default font of Emacs without setting properties in the .Xresources. The window font can be changed with: 

M-x customize-face RET default RET

I set it to misc-fixed with height 113.

The menubar font can be changed with: 

M-x customize-face RET menu RET

I'm still searching for the correct font, but in my .Xresources it was: 

Emacs*menubar.font: Lucida
