xedit uses standard X resources, so I looked at
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Xedit. It showed a bunch of font
information:

*editModes.C.properties:\
keyword?font=*courier-bold-r*12*,\
preprocessor?font=*courier-medium-r*12*,\
comment?font=*courier-medium-o*12*,\
string?font=*lucidatypewriter-medium-r*12*,\
constant?font=*lucidatypewriter-medium-r*12*,\
octal?font=*courier-bold-r*12*&overstrike,\
hexa?font=*courier-bold-r*12*&underline,\
integer?font=*courier-bold-r*12*,\
float?font=*courier-bold-r*12*&overstrike&underline,\
punctuation?font=*courier-bold-r*12*,\
error?foreground=white&background=black&font=*new century
schoolbook-bold*25*,\
default?font=*courier-medium-r*12*

I didn't try anything, but maybe you can change this X resource (maybe in
a ~/.Xresources file. And then do "xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources".

Good luck,
