FYI, recent xterm on some (many, most?) distributions have support for
anti-aliased fonts.  To choose an anti-aliased font, use "-fa":

    xterm -fa 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:size=12'
    xterm -fa 'Luxi Mono:size=14'

You can use fc-list to list the fonts available via fontconfig:

    fc-list

And, of course, you can set these resources in your ~/.Xresources file which
is typically loaded for you (with xrdb) during login:

    XTerm*faceName:     Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
    XTerm*faceSize:     12
