If you don't already have one, create a file in your home directory named .Xresources to store your preferences for various X programs. Append a line to the file such as
xterm*font: *-fixed-*-*-*-18-*
This informs xterm to use the 'fixed' font at size 18. From here, to incorporate the changes you've made you can either:
- restart X; or
- run
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresourcesin a terminal
All new xterms should now have the font change.
If you run man xterm and go down to the RESOURCES section, you can find a wealth of additional, configurable xterm options.
