fc-list results in many fonts being listed but no Monospace! "Times" is in the list. I tried: xterm -fn "Times" xterm -fn "Times-12" xterm -fa "Times" xterm -fa "Times-12" Always the same result with the same default font. Has anybody been able to launch xterm with a font (any is welcome) which is not the default? That would give a track before going in the details of unix fonts literature. Thank you for your help.
