I would like to launch an xterm terminal using "Monospace" font.
Monospace is the font used by default by gvim.
I tried:
xterm -fn "Monospace"
xterm -fa "Monospace"
is perhaps what you meant.
Thank you for your quick answer.
xterm -fa "Monospace"
gives no error message but open xterm with the same font (which is not
Monospace) as:
xterm
yes (one of the features of Xft is that it provides no error messages,
but simply uses the default font if there's any problem...)
If you try
xterm -fa "foobar"
you also get the same result, for any "foobar" string.
That sounds as if the strings you're giving don't match the available
font family names. If you have "fc-list", it can give a list of names.
