Sounds like your desktop resolution is too low.
Or emacs is trying to use a huge font.
After setting your resolution to more reasonable size you can control
emacs size, color, shape, font etc with lisp code.
If you want to delve into lisp I can copy paste some old code I've
used from time to time but I'm not a lisp programmer at all.
For that approach you will want to post on gnu.emacs.help newsgroup.
You can also control emacs with a ~/.Xresources file. Thats how I
like to do it.
This will give you some ideas about how that might be done:
(from ~/.Xresources)
emacs*Background: black
emacs*Foreground: papayawhip
emacs*pointerColor: white
emacs*cursorColor: magenta
emacs*bitmapIcon: on
emacs*font: -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1
emacs.geometry: 100x38
