[Question] Xterm and its font

[James Cameron]

I agree, the default xterm font is unreadable.

The font of the console is specified in the kernel configuration as SUN12x22

However, I do not use bitmap fonts on xterm on XO, but I use a
FreeType font.

This gives me 79 characters:

     xterm -fa "Mono" -fs 9 +sb

This gives me 80 characters:

     xterm -fa "Mono" -fs 8.7 +sb

Tested on GNOME desktop on 13.1.0.
