I have: XTerm*font: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-* in my .Xdefaults Other than colors, here is my .Xdefaults (in my home directory, natch): XTerm*scrollBar: on XTerm*saveLines: 9 XTerm*font: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-* XTerm*visualBell: true XTerm*titeInhibit: true urxvt*secondaryScreen: false The most important part is the XTerm*titeInhibit: true, it is beyond me why that isn't the default everywhere (it prevents a screen clear when you're, say, done reading a man page). I want to get rid of the title bar but haven't explored that as I launch most of my xterms from a script. Extract: nohup xterm -name $h -title $h -ls -mc none +tb +mb -vb -sb -sl 9 -background grey95 -fg black -cr black -ms black -font "-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*" -e ssh -Yq r...@$h >/dev/null & 2>&1 Naturally $h is the server :) To get the fonts I launched xfontsel and went through it and experimented.

If you have "fc-list", it can give a list of names. fc-list results in many fonts being listed but no Monospace! "Times" is in the list. I tried: xterm -fn "Times" xterm -fn "Times-12" xterm -fa "Times" xterm -fa "Times-12" Always the same result with the same default font. Has anybody been able to launch xterm with a font (any is welcome) which is not the default? That would give a track before going in the details of unix fonts literature. Thank you for your help.

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.
