I am trying to get my xterm window under gnome to open with large fonts, with light green foreground and dark green background. I have the following .Xdefaults file contents:
Rather than use the Xdefaults file, create a ~/XTerm file which every xterm will read at startup so changes appear immediately.
I'm attaching the one I use which sets large fonts, a red cursor so that characters show in reverse video, and a few other goodies.
The XTerm*pointerShape sets the pointer to an arrow which I find much easier to see than the default.
The XTerm*charClass is a bit of magic that makes left double clicks highlight full path names, IP addresses, and other useful things.
The XTerm*ttyModes is effectively stty to set my preferences, avoiding the DECish ^? DEL instead of ctrl-H backspace as $DEITY intended.
