What font are you trying to make xterm to use?
Did you make the font visible to the server? Font path, mkfontdir, fonts.dir,
fonts.alias and that stuff?
Try xfd -fn <font> first. If this fails, xterm will also fail.
Did you that you can change xterms fonts by CTRL-right mouse button
clicking on xterm?
