Actually it doesn't say _that_ ("xterm -help" lists the available options).
man xterm gives more words:
-fa pattern
This option sets the pattern for fonts selected from
the FreeType library if support for that library was
compiled into xterm. This corresponds to the
faceName resource. When a CJK double-width font is
specified, you also need to turn on the cjkWidth
resource.
-fs size
This option sets the pointsize for fonts selected
from the FreeType library if support for that
library was compiled into xterm. This corresponds
to the faceSize resource.
The "-fs" option does nothing if the "-fa" option (or "faceName" resource)
is not given. The default uses the bitmap fonts.
