[mdlug] Default font in xterm

[R. Kannan]

Thanks, that really helped. 

I came in this morning and used my script for opening an xterm which basically did..

xterm -fg white -bg black -fa menu12 -title $1

and the font size was huge. I don't know why I had '-fa' instead of '-fn' and what 'menu12' was but it did give me an xterm with font acceptable to me. But something that the sys admins had done probably changed. BTW, I accessing this machine from Windoze through Exceed.
