Besides that, settings can be entered in ~/.Xdefaults. I have these lines in it: xterm*VT100.foreground: black xterm*VT100.background: white xterm*VT100.cursorColor: gray xterm*VT100.geometry: 85x40 xterm*VT100.font: -efont-fixed-medium-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* This is with xfonts-efont-unicode installed. Furthermore, xterm can simply be started with options: $ xterm -fn ..... -geometry ..... See the manpage.
