There's a reason why xterm's man page contains the following, you know...
-fa pattern
This option sets the pattern for fonts selected from the
FreeType library if support for that library was compiled into
xterm. This corresponds to the faceName resource. When a CJK
double-width font is specified, you also need to turn on the
cjkWidth resource.
faceName (class FaceName)
Specify the pattern for fonts selected from the FreeType
library if support for that library was compiled into xterm.
There is no default. If not specified, or if there is no match
for both normal and bold fonts, xterm uses the font and related
resources.
Which leads to resources like:
XTerm*VT100.faceName: monotype.com
XTerm*VT100.faceSize: 8
Don't have any idea how you'd have found '-fa', and not actually have read
what it says.
