One can use ctrl-right_click to choose a font (or Shft_Key_+) to select a font

*fontMenu.Label:  VT Fonts

*fontMenu*font1*Label:  Unreadable
*fontMenu*font6*Label:  Huge
*VT100*font6:           10x20

I have not been able to figure out from the doco the startup command to select
one of these fonts upon starting xterm. Can anyone help?


Simply,

xterm -fn 10x20

would do the one above. This is another area where X and X-based apps are seemingly infinitely adjustable. I've experimented with the output of xlsfonts as an argument to xterm, with quite varied results, but when "xlsfonts | wc -l" returns 2184 entries you soon realize time is limited. I am somewhat fond of schumacher-clean, though.

If this gets your juices flowing, research " X resources". Then you can tweak to your hearts content.
