xterm also works with the true type fonts provided both in the core X 
distribution and pkgsrc via fontconfig.

e.g
XTerm*faceName:DejaVu Sans Mono
XTerm*faceSize:10

These are anti-aliased which tends to look better if you have a graphics 
card capable of doing the processing. It might however be slow on a 
non-accellerated setup in which case the recomendations above are better.
