Usually xterm comes with a menu

Ctl-right-mouse-click-drag-2-selection

Of course you can try xterm -fn 10x20
and/or set default font in ~/.Xresources if you want to create one with

XTerm*font: 10x20

Do a
locate -i xresources
to get a copy to hack up.

list of founts found by doing
xlsfonts

hi,
Thanks a lot
