I'm trying to set up antialiased fonts in xterm.
The OpenBSD FAQ used to contain a section "Antialiased and Truetype
fonts in X" with lots of useful information on this subject
[e.g., an archived copy I have of the OpenBSD
web pages as of 5.8-stable (checked out from CVS
on 2016-06-23) has this as FAQ 8.20.],
but the current FAQ doesn't seem to address this subject.
Looking in the cvs logs, I see

> Working file: truetype.html

suggesting that that information is now outdated.
What Fine Manual(s) should I be reading for up-to-date information
on antialiased fonts? I can't find anything relevant in xterm(1) or
any of the X server man pages. Interestingly, the example from the
5.8-stable FAQ,
xterm -fa 'Mono' -fs 14
*does* work on my 6.0-stable system. But I'd still like to read more
(e.g., about what font families are available).
ciao,
