Re: unreadable xterm :)
I have the opposite situation from the OP - a large majority of my
users insist that the default Xterm font is too tiny and (quite
rightly) complain about having to manually increase the font size to
"Huge" whenever they open a new terminal.

That's all very nice, but, as I read it, that allows you to specify
that 'font 3 = Helvetica Runic 72' or whatever, but what I (and, I
suspect, the OP) am looking for is a way (.Xresources would work for
me, but I suspect the OP needs a command-line option) to tell xterm
'when you open, use the Huge font instead of the default font'.
