The file also has rather extensive comments about the resources (some have both upper and lowercase names, but not all of them, some seem to only have the uppercase VT100 name). This option enables recognition of ANSI color-change escape sequences. It sets the colorMode resource to 'false'. This option disables recognition of ANSI color-change escape sequences. Note: there are also some "" and "2" (through 6) that may override the VT100.font (1-6) specifications. Normally it is 'XTerm', but can be set to another class such as 'UXTerm' to override selected resources. I have found it more useful to use the "XTerm*font1" type of reference as that covers any capitalization issues in the resource names.ĭid some more digging - the X defaults directory (/usr/share/X11/app-defaults) does have XTerm font1-6 specified as *VT100.font1 (through 6), so apparently, I'm wrong about the lowercase (as is the manpage). I actually find it listed both ways in different parts of the documentation. and the VT100 resources appear to be addressed as "vt100" (lower case).
The VT100 Widget resources do not include the fonts. I thought those resource names were XTerm.font1 (through 6) I have been using TrueType fonts in xterm and its derivatives since, I guess, around 2002. You may not be aware, Gareth, that the Xft scheme has allowed use of TrueType in xterm and its derivatives for many years now. The latter eliminates, in particular, all terminal emulators that I know provide font substitution and dynamic font resizing. I have returned to using xterm, uxterm, rxvt in Linux in view of using and experimenting with "small" Linux installations, having no GTK/Qt based applications installed. It is basically at least 10 years ago when I was using xterm and uxterm on a regular basis in Linux (in Cygwin I have continued using xterm for much longer, until wonderful mintty terminal emulator appeared a few years ago). So basically one of the desktop environments' terminals.The emphasized part underlines the reason why I started this thread: perhaps I have missed something in recent development of xterm, that allows now to dynamically change the font size, to which we are accustomed now in practically all applications involving text (I can do that, to some extent, even in a Linux console). fonts, you need a terminal that uses Gtk+ or Qt (or Xft directly).

Xterm, unless it's changed drastically in the last few years (unlikely), is based on the old Athena/Xt/Xlib GUI libraries fresh from the '80s, and thus uses the old X-server-side font rendering system. The uxterm manual page gives more information.
