Are you positive it's being run with xterm and not some other
x-terminal-emulator (kvt, rxvt, gnome-terminal, etc...)? There are some
subtle differences between xterm*font, Xterm*font, xterm*Font and
Xterm*Font. In an xterm, Ctrl-<Right Click> should allow you to change
the font size on the fly as well (if it doesn't give you a menu -- maybe
it's not an xterm...).
