The change in font size is due to the value of 'Xft.dpi'. Try 96
instead of 93.
You need to specify a truetype font using the 'faceName' resource, not
'font'. So the relevant lines would be:
XTerm*faceName: BitStream Vera Sans Mono
XTerm*faceSize: 10
You can test the values beforehand by supply them on the command line,
e.g.,
xterm -fa 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono' -fs 10 &
See the xterm man page for further details.
