Thanks very much for the guidance, Pavel.  I'll work with .Xresources.  

Having changed nothing yet, I tried this and thought I should report it
doesn't appear to work too well:

$ xterm -fs 8 -fa "Terminal"
Segmentation fault
$ uname -a |cut -b-60
NetBSD oak.schemamania.org 2.0 NetBSD 2.0 (GENERIC) #0: Wed 

Haven't looked into it further....
