Firstly, I'd recommend reading the tutorial C-h t (Control and h
together then t). Also check out the info pages on emacs.
In emacs, font related stuff is covered by the term 'face'. Try M-x
customize-face <ret> (where M-x means hit Meta plus x and Meta is
*usually* the Alt key)
If your running on Linux under X, you can also use X resource settings
(see info pages). You can also set the font on the command line with
-font.
