One way to do that would be editing your window manager config file and
where it calls for xterm, use xterm -font ***** option, where under -font
you can specify any font you need. Including sizes. 

Another is to add a line to /etc/X11/Xresources that says something like
XTerm*font: specify your font here.

Edit the /etc/X11/Xsession file and insert line
xhost +paladin 
in the beginning of it.
Same can be done for discover as well.
