[SOLVED] Xterm and Typetrue fonts

I've done a lot of googling but can't seem to find the setting I need to change in order to set it so my Xterm to open using typetrue fonts by default

I always have to ctrl + right click and choose it manually.

So far what I've found is this link in the wiki which was awesome:

http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Xdefaults_setup

Still relatively new to Linux and made the jump from Ubuntu to Arch a few months ago so I apologize in advance if I missed an article in the Wiki or online.  Went through the Xterm man pages :RESOURCES too...

Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] Xterm and Typetrue fonts

      faceName (class FaceName)                                               
               Specify the pattern for fonts selected from the FreeType library if  support  for  that
               library was compiled into xterm.  There is no default value.     
                                                                               
               If  not  specified,  or if there is no match for both normal and bold fonts, xterm uses
               the font and related resources.

And the first hit on google: http://wiki-static.aydogan.net/How_to_u … s_in_xterm

Re: [SOLVED] Xterm and Typetrue fonts

Thanks I was able to get that to work.

I didn't try googling "TTF" so that may be why I couldn't find the article I needed.
