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.
If you don't mind ... Does the xterm start w/ the given font string? Which type of font syntax -- string enclosed in single quotes or only the quotation of white space -- worked?
I did not use single quotes and I backslashed the spaces:
xterm -sl 3000 -fs 8 \ -fa -bitstream-bitstream\ vera\ sans\ mono-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
I wasn't able to properly set the font size (using -fs 8) with the -fn option. I switched to -fa (and -fb) and it works like a charm.
Thanks for all your help!
