Trying to use the Droid fonts in xterm

[John Magolske <listmail@b79.net>]

I just installed the Droid fonts on Debian sid like so:

  % wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/ttf-droid/ttf-droid_1.00~b112+dfsg+1-0ubuntu1_all.deb
  # dpkg -i ttf-droid_1.00\~b112+dfsg+1-0ubuntu1_all.deb
  # fc-cache -v -f /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-droid

I find it's possible to pick & set this font using the pull-down menu in
gvim, but how does one set it in xterm? I tried this in my ~/.Xresources
(fc-list shows a "Droid Sans Mono:style=Regular") :

  XTerm*font:  Droid Sans Mono:style=Regular

But get this:

  unable to open font "Droid Sans Mono:style=Regular", trying "fixed"....

Any tips on how to get the Droid fonts working with xterm?

Regards,

John
