X fonts

Hi,

I am trying to change the fonts in my xterm to a more suitable size for my
monitor.  In the standard sizes 12x24 is too big, but anything else is far
too small.

At the moment I am selecting fonts from the list generated by xlsfonts,
however most of these do not appear to work for terminals (resulting in a
very distorted - usually streached - terminal).  Also, the selection seems
fairly limited, and when I add extra font packages (such as xfntscl -
supposively scalable fonts) there apears to be no change to the list.

If possible, can somebody give me an overview of font use in X, and point
me in the right direction for what I am trying to achieve?

Thanks very much,


Chris
