 I use the following in my ~/.Xdefaults. Change the faceName and faceSize to 
 suit you.
 
 XTerm*faceName: Bitstream Vera Serif Mono
 XTerm*faceSize: 10
 XTerm*toolBar: false
 XTerm*Background: black
 XTerm*Foreground: white
 XTerm*cursorColor: LightBlue
 XTerm*ScrollBar: true
 XTerm*rightScrollBar: true
Thanks a lot, I got it.

Well, if you hold down the ctrl key and hit the right mouse button,
you will get a menu of VT Fonts and select Large or Huge.

Or you could do what I've done -- Make a my_xterm shell script:

##

#!/bin/sh
#
export LANG=C
export XTERM_LOCALE=C

exec xterm \
-fa lucidatypewriter -fs 16 \
-fg green \
-bg black $*

##

I find the green on black much easier to read than other combinations.
