Changing XTERM Fonts size ....

[Mike Reinehr]

Ben,

As a fellow Southware user, I'm intimately familiar with this problem. I've 
found rxvt to be a really good terminal emulation program, but the control 
codes should be the same as xterm. With rxvt there are five standard fonts 
(compiled in, I believe) which you access using the control sequence \e]
50;#n^G substituting a number between 0 and 4 for n. With Eterm, you could 
specify your fonts in a configuration file. I'm not sure what you do with 
plain xterm.
