| 
| Package: xterm
| Version: 327-2
| Severity: minor
| 
| If I define the faceName resource, e.g. with
| 
| XTerm*faceName: Monospace
| 
| in the .Xresources file (read by xrdb), then the -fn (-font) option
| is ignored. For instance,
| 
|   xterm -fn 7x13
| 
| has no effect. Options normally override the default resources, but
| this is not the case here. And the observed behavior is not
| documented.

last paragraph in this section:

(it's been there quite a while, and won't be changed)
