These are configuration files for software that is external to Emacs,
so I still think the problem might be in the configuration of those
other packages (fontconfig etc.), as I don't think Emacs reads these
files directly.  That's assuming you did make sure that the resources
were read by X.

And I'm really out of my depth here, so if double-checking the setup
of fontconfig and stuff doesn't help, I'm afraid you will have to look
for someone who really knows about this and could help you debug this.
Sorry.
