Simply,
xterm -fn 10x20
would do the one above. This is another area where X and X-based apps
are seemingly infinitely adjustable. I've experimented with the output
of xlsfonts as an argument to xterm, with quite varied results, but when
"xlsfonts | wc -l" returns 2184 entries you soon realize time is
limited. I am somewhat fond of schumacher-clean, though.
If this gets your juices flowing, research " X resources". Then you can
tweak to your hearts content.
