sorry (I was fumbling around a display bug in PuTTY, should have read
my reply more closely).  uxterm sets the "UXTerm" class for xterm, which
would mean you'd need 

	UXTerm.vt100.font

instead.  The application name would still be "xterm" - though I have noticed
at least one distributor renaming xterm to something like "xterm.real" -
and referencing it via a symbolic link, breaking all the resource settings.

A quick check of the above seems to work for me (ymmv).

More generally, I configure xterm with the toolbar, which adds a level.
But
	UXTerm*vt100.font

is still more limited than

	UXTerm*vt100*font
or
	UXTerm*font
