FTR, you have to install the resources onto the root window as well:

  xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

Yes.  The X core fonts used by the XMenu library aren't scalable, so
there is no way to tell it a desired height.  You should probably pick
from the fonts in x-fixed-font-alist (6x10 is a fixed font where glyphs
are 6 pixels wide and 10 pixels tall, 8x13 has glyphs that are 8 pixels
wide and 13 pixels tall, etc.)
