Don't know about Fedora, but many modern X servers can load
mouse pointers not only from the cursor font but from specially
prepared bitmap images.
Here's what worked for me:
* Install a package with X cursors, on opensuse for example
"xcursor-themes", which contains (among others) the cursor
theme "whiteglass".
* Put "Xcursor.size: 32" and "Xcursor.theme: whiteglass" in
the .Xdefaults file.
* Or: add "export XCURSOR_THEME=whiteglass" and
"export XCURSOR_SIZE=32" to .xsession.
(and restart the X session). The last point of course assumes
you're actually using a custom .xsession file, but for someone
using ctwm instead of one of the current preconfigured desktop
systems, I believe that's not too improbable.
The environment variables override the settings in .Xdefaults,
so you can start individual programs such as xterm, for
example, with "XCURSOR_SIZE=64 xterm".
In principle, you can also unpack downloaded xcursor theme files
to your ~/.icons directory and use them as above (replacing
"whiteglass"), or even create your own cursors (see xcursorgen(1)).
