 I created a file, ".Xresources" in my home dir, with the following contents:

XTerm*metaSendsEscape: on
XTerm*VT100.font: 9x15

 And I have my startup scripts set to run "xrdb ~/.Xresources". Some variation
on this should do for you, too.

 Sincerely,

 Ray Ingles                                             (313) 227-2317

 "I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and by
 men who are equally certain that they represent the divine will. I am
 sure that either the one or the other is mistaken in the belief, and
 perhaps in some respects, both.

 I hope it will not be irreverent of me to say that if it is probable
 that God would reveal his will to others on a point so connected with
 my duty, it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me."
