Weird, becasue I have a directory called ~/.Xresources and there I
have the file

  __( '/home/michelle.konzack/.Xresources/XTerm' )______________________
 /
| # ~/.Xresources
| 
| XTerm*Font:  -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
| XTerm*Font2: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--8-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
| XTerm*Font3: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
| XTerm*Font4: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
| XTerm*Font5: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
| XTerm*Font6: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
