in order for it to work, you *must* escape the fontname whitespace.
xterm -fn -bitstream-bitstream\ vera\ sans\mono-*-yada,yada.
also, if you're using the ' ' on either end of the fontname (as you've shown above), drop them.
Please ignore my previous reply to epilogue's reply.
After providing the correct font syntax (w/o the single quotes but w/ quoted space), epilogue's syntax /also/ works for me.
It works for me now, too. When I was testing every (sic) combination last night, I wasn't always using xterm. Sometimes I used xfterm4 (the XFCE wrapper for xterm) and it DOES barf whether I escape, quote or whatever.
Thanks a million, guys!!
