can I change the font of default "xterm"?

["john smith" <inquirer23@hotmail.com>]

I'd like to know if I can change the font of xterm. xterm is the default pty 
terminal on the initial boot right? or am I mistaken? I would like to use my 
ttf font for the default terminal (whichever it boots into before the xdm 
login prompt) since I have configured xfstt font server properly.is this 
possible?

Thanks.
