Hi Clay,

The first approach I recommend is to start program xfontsel. There 
select a font you like, and copy its description.
Then try it out like this:
$ xterm -font *-fixed-*-*-*-18-*

You'll see the result in another xterm. Substitute my font description 
with your choosen one.

If you like it, put it into your resource file (~/.Xresources and/or 
~/.Xdefaults):
xterm*font:     *-fixed-*-*-*-18-*

Restart your X session, and check if it works.
