Are you actually using xterm, or are you using something like
gnome-terminal or the KDE equivalent? The way you change it is
different depending on the program used.

If you are really trying to set xterm, you can use the "-fn font"
option to set the normal font. There are a lot more options that can
be set in the xterm resource file. It may be worth while learning
about resource files if you are not going to use a desktop manager,
or programs that are not desktop manager aware, and want to
customize the appearance. You can also change some of the settings
for the current secession using ctrl-<mouse button> to see how they
will look before making permanent changes.
