Besides that, settings can be entered in ~/.Xdefaults. I have these
lines in it:
xterm*VT100.foreground: black
xterm*VT100.background: white
xterm*VT100.cursorColor: gray
xterm*VT100.geometry: 85x40
xterm*VT100.font: -efont-fixed-medium-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*
This is with xfonts-efont-unicode installed.
Furthermore, xterm can simply be started with options:
$ xterm -fn ..... -geometry .....
See the manpage.
