OK, deprecated is not realy the right word but:
man xterm
at the end of the OPTIONS section it is written:
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
The following command line arguments are provided for compatibil-
ity with older versions. They may not be supported in the next
release as the X Toolkit provides standard options that accom-
plish the same task.
<snip>
-fn font
This option specifies the font to be used for displaying
normal text. The default is fixed.
-font font
This is the same as -fn.
