I can't answer this question, but want to chime in on this thread just because I had the same question a few weeks ago, but could never figure it out. I poked around my system and Googled until I was blue in the face, but came up with nothing. The reason is that I had recently switched from rxvt to urxvt (for Unicode support) and the default font, or whichever one it ended up grabbing) looked awful, but I liked very much the font that rxvt was using. I even ran a kernel trace on the program in an attempt to figure out what font it was settling on, but was only able to get a partial answer from that, as the font lines were truncated. As I say, this doesn't help, but I post here only in the hope that perhaps another post to the thread will catch someones eye who might know how to figure out what font a particular X terminal is using when it hasn't been explicity set already.
