I'm trying to set the xterm font from the command line using the -fn option.
$ xterm -fn fontname
What I can't seem to find is the exact fontname of any font on my system (FreeBSD 5.2.1R). I've tried many combinations of my fonts: lowercase mixed case, spaces, hyphes, underscores, etc... and it can never find the font. For example:
$ xterm -fn Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Mono xterm: unable to open font "Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Mono", trying "fixed"
Where can I find the font list that xterm is checking?
Use xfontsel to choose the font and then specify the exact same thing that it shows:
xterm -fn '-bitstream-charter-*-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'
